Raoul Dufy

RAOUL DUFY POCHOIR Raoul Dufy s importance as an artist during the first half of the 20th century is inestimable and his works are shown in principal public collections worldwide.

In June 1920 the publisher La Sirène of Paris issued a suite of 25 pochoir prints by Raoul Dufy. The black, or key line of each print, was pulled on a hand lithographic press by Aimé Jourde and subsequently coloured by Richard using the pochoir process. The suite was limited to 1110 sets on vélin Lafuma de Voiron art paper and a copy of the numbered justification page will accompany each print.

Pochoir is a method of printing using stencils and was popular in Europe, particularly France, around the turn of the century. It is a very labour intensive and expensive technique, which produces an image that is often indistinguishable from the artist s hand painted original.

The image is cut into a stencil made from a fine sheet of metal and gouache or watercolour is applied by hand using a variety of different brushes. A separate stencil is required for each colour, sometimes up to twenty being used. The viscosity of the paint, the number of passes the stenciller makes with the brush and the thickness of the brush itself all affect the final colouration. Pochoir printing reached its zenith in the early 1900s and had virtually disappeared by the time of the Great Depression and the outbreak of World War II.

This was Dufy s first suite of pochoir prints.
