Artists in conversation
Raoul Dufy
French · b. 1877
Raoul Dufy, Jean's brother, painted numerous vibrant orchestral and concert scenes using the same bright color palette and loose energetic brushwork, making his work nearly indistinguishable in subject matter and visual spirit from this piece.
Albert Gleizes
French · b. 1881
Gleizes brought a dynamic modern French sensibility to figurative compositions filled with rhythm and movement, sharing the same early 20th century colorful energy visible in this orchestral scene.
Kees van Dongen
Dutch · b. 1877
Van Dongen painted lively Parisian social scenes including concerts and performances with bold saturated colors and vibrant figurative compositions that closely parallel the festive musical energy of this work.
