Artists in conversation

Raoul Dufy
French · b. 1877

As Jean Dufy's brother and close artistic collaborator, Raoul Dufy painted Paris landmarks including the Eiffel Tower with the same vibrant color palette and loose, joyful brushwork visible in this piece. Both artists shared a Fauvist inspired approach to capturing urban Parisian life with celebratory lightness.

Albert Marquet
French · b. 1875

Marquet repeatedly painted Parisian cityscapes and the Seine with a similarly impressionistic and colorful technique, capturing the energy of early 20th century Paris with fluid brushstrokes. His urban landscape paintings share the same fascination with modern Parisian architecture and city life evident in this work.

Maurice Utrillo
French · b. 1883

Utrillo devoted his career to painting Parisian streets and iconic architectural landmarks with an expressive and colorful Post Impressionist style closely aligned with this depiction of the Eiffel Tower. His characteristic urban scenes reflect the same early 20th century fascination with Parisian identity and architectural subjects.
