I don't know why I am unable to comment on Raoul Dufy's images on the same post with the images nor do I understand why my post on Turner has appeared underneath the one on Rackstraw Downes. I mean not before or after, but literally underneath. Earlier the Turner post appeared underneath the post on Gary Breeze and Ben Shahn. I thought I could fix the problem by deleting the post on Gary Breeze and Ben Shahn, but no.
What can one say about artists one admires? After a while it all sounds like gushing gibberish. Nevertheless one perseveres.
I love the way the street scene recedes casually but decidedly into the distance where there's turret on a distant architectural something or other. Who cares exactly what and Dufy doesn't seem to care either but specificity isn't really the point. A sense of crowded festivity is the issue. Specificity is the point of the castle façade. I love the curve of the bay and the colors. I love looking down into the orchestral pit. But my favorite is the sea scene with the different boats and sizes and types of waves and the big bird and the boats.
