Quinze Dessins de Durer a Dufy Appartenant aux Collections des Musees Nationaux, issued in 1968, represents a landmark achievement in Parisian printmaking devoted to the faithful translation of historic master drawings into modern pochoir and lithographic form. Conceived and published by Daniel Jacomet in collaboration with Editions Artistiques et Documentaires, the project inaugurated a series dedicated to rendering canonical drawings with exceptional fidelity to line, tone, and original intent. Jacomets atelier was internationally respected for its rigorous technical standards and scholarly approach, bridging museum collections and contemporary print culture through meticulous craftsmanship. By uniting works spanning centuries and artistic traditions, the publication reflects a curatorial vision rooted in preservation, education, and aesthetic continuity. Produced in strictly limited examples, including a small number outside the trade, it exemplifies the highest standards of mid twentieth century Parisian printmaking and remains valued for its role in transmitting the legacy of master draftsmanship to collectors, institutions, and scholars. About the Artist: Raoul Dufy (1877–1953) was a French painter, printmaker, designer, and illustrator celebrated for his radiant use of color, lyrical brushwork, and joyous depictions of modern life that made him one of the most beloved artists of the twentieth century. A central figure of Fauvism, Dufys exuberant compositions captured regattas, orchestras, seaside scenes, and urban pleasures in shimmering harmonies of light and movement, translating the rhythm of everyday life into visual music. Influenced by Henri Matisse and Paul Cezanne and shaped by the revolutionary ideas of Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, Dufy forged a style that balanced structure with spontaneity, joy with sophistication. Born in Le Havre, he studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and, after encountering the Fauves at the 1905 Salon dAutomne, embraced pure color as his primary language. His work extended far beyond painting into textiles, ceramics, illustration, and stage design, including collaborations with Paul Poiret and the monumental mural La Fee Electricite, created for the 1937 Paris International Exposition. Dufys philosophy centered on the logic of color and the musicality of line, producing works of enduring vitality and optimism. His influence is evident in later painters such as Nicolas de Stael, Richard Diebenkorn, and David Hockney. Today, his works are held in major museum collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, and the Tate Modern. His highest auction record was achieved by La Fee Electricite, which sold for approximately 6767200 USD at Christies London on June twenty five, two thousand seven, reaffirming his legacy as one of the most radiant and influential colorists of the modern era.
