"The first book to provide a comprehensive study of Dufy's complete work - much of which has never before been reproduced - and a full-fledged portrait of the man as well. Charts the path by which he arrived at his characteristic and entirelly individual style. Examines the themes that appear throughout his art and shows how his experiments in one area informed and improved his work in another. Drawing on the artist's notes, correspondence, and previously unpublished writings, Perez-Tibi sets before us a man who made no distinction between 'great art' and 'minor art,' whose eyes 'were made to erase all things ugly'" - dust jacket.
