Paris Journal — Raoul Dufy 1925 Printemps France

Raoul Dufy painted the world as it felt at its best — vivid, fluid, and full of light. His 1925 Panorama de Paris, created as a decorative screen with designer André Groult for the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs, gathers the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Panthéon, and Sacré-Cœur into a single festive composition wreathed in exuberant flowers — a portrait not of what Paris looks like, but of what Paris means.

The front and back covers reproduce Dufy's Panorama de Paris in full — the Eiffel Tower rising at the centre, flanked by the Arc de Triomphe and the Panthéon, Sacré-Cœur crowning the composition from Montmartre, all rendered in Dufy's signature fluid calligraphic line over washes of vivid blue, purple, and pink, with flowers blooming in extravagant abundance around the monuments in the festive, joyful style that made him the defining painter of the Années Folles.
