Henri Matisse
French · b. 1869
Matisse created numerous lithographs of bathers and nudes with the same fluid, graceful line quality and playful colorful sensibility that defines this Dufy piece. His figurative printmaking work shares the same Art Deco era French aesthetic and decorative elegance.
Pierre Bonnard
French · b. 1867
Bonnard produced lithographs featuring nude bathers rendered with loose, expressive lines and vibrant color closely paralleling Dufy's approach in this work. His early 20th century French figurative prints share the same playful intimacy and colorful decorative quality.
Kees van Dongen
Dutch · b. 1877
Van Dongen was deeply embedded in the same Art Deco Parisian scene as Dufy and created similarly colorful figurative works featuring women at leisure including beach scenes rendered with fluid confident lines. His prints and drawings of the female figure share the same graceful playful elegance visible in this lithograph.
