Mexican musicians - Raoul Dufy

The artwork in a nutshell
Towards the end of his career, Raoul Dufy devoted several works to music, a recurring theme in his pictorial universe. Here, he depicts a group of popular musicians, probably inspired by a scene he observed or by his taste for the world's musical traditions. This painting is part of a series in which visual rhythm seeks to echo sonic rhythm.
The composition shows several musicians playing guitar, drum, double bass and clarinet, treated with rapid sketches and fluid black outlines. Shapes are simplified, sometimes barely suggested. Colors are intense - blue, red, yellow - but applied in broad, transparent strokes, revealing the background. The space is flat, without depth, and the whole gives an impression of continuous movement, like a colorful vibration around the instruments. The central subject is the musical gesture, rather than the characters themselves.
