The artwork, titled “Yacht Club” by Raoul Dufy, was created in 1931. This piece is part of the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and falls under the genre painting category.
The artwork vividly depicts a lively yacht club scene with an assortment of colorful elements and bustling activity. The scene portrays various figures, presumably club members and visitors, moving around the area. Numerous yachts with their sails poised and flags fluttering can be seen, adding dynamism to the scene. The setting appears to be along a scenic waterfront, against a backdrop of buildings and a sky filled with vibrant blue tones, dispersed with white clouds. The overall effect is one of animated charm and vivid colors, a hallmark of Dufy’s expressive style within the Naïve Art tradition.
