RAOUL DUFY (1877-1953)Portrait de Madame Raoul Dufy signed 'Raoul Dufy' (lower centre)brush and India ink on paper63.9 x 48.4cm (25 3/16 x 19 1/16in).Executed circa 1916Footnotes:ProvenanceGalerie Berthe Weill, Paris (probably acquired directly from the artist, circa 1917-1919).Theo Waddington Fine Art, London, no. 5559.Annandale Galleries, Sydney, no. RD 10.Private collection, Sydney (acquired from the above on 7 September 1997).ExhibitedLondon, Theo Waddington Fine Art in association with Annandale Galleries, Sydney, Raoul Dufy, 18 June – 12 July 1997 (later travelled to Sydney).LiteratureF. Guillon-Laffaille, Raoul Dufy, Catalogue raisonné des aquarelles, gouaches et pastels, Vol. II, Paris, 1982, no. 1747 (illustrated p. 249).A multitalented artist and designer, Raoul Dufy designed the floral-patterned fabric of the dress here worn by Madame Dufy. Clearly a favourite garment, Madame Dufy is depicted wearing it in several further portraits by her husband. The playfully stylised, swirling designs of the dress are rendered here in sensuous strokes of deep-black ink, evoking a tender and loving dialogue between artist and sitter.Shortly after its execution, this work was with the Galerie Berthe Weill at 50 rue Taitbout, Paris, where it was located from 1917 to 1919. Although lesser known than her male contemporaries such as Ambroise Vollard and Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, Berthe Weill is now understood to have been a key figure in the twentieth-century Parisian avant-garde. She was a dealer of Dufy's in addition to other major Modern artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Suzanne Valadon, holding a number of ground-breaking exhibitions. In 1917 she mounted the only solo show of Amedeo Modigliani's work held during his lifetime. That exhibition was quickly shut down by the commissaire of the nearby police station, who reviled the fact that Modigliani's odalisques – which have sold for over £100m – had visible pubic hair. A middle-class woman of Jewish heritage, Weill remained destitute for much of her life and fell into obscurity after her death in 1951, following her hiding from persecution during World War II. But there has recently been a great influx of interest into this enigmatic historical figure, culminating in the translation and republishing of her memoir in 2009 and the 2011 release of the first comprehensive study of her life and work by Marianne Le Morvan. A sweeping exhibition titled Berthe Weill, Art Dealer of the Parisian Avant-Garde will commence at the Grey Art Gallery, New York and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal, in the autumn of 2024.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
