| The circus / Le cirque (1927) by Jean Dufy |
Jean Dufy, was the younger brother of Raoul Dufy, celebrated artist of the Promenade des Anglais, Nice, and like his brother would paint his canvases in gay, sparkling colours, in the manner of the fauvists, or 'Wild Beasts'.
Jean clearly had an attraction for the circus, as many of his paintings depict the splendour and spectacle of circus life under the big top.
