The red violin - Raoul Dufy

The artwork in a nutshell
Around the 1940s, Raoul Dufy gradually reduced his compositions to the essential, focusing his attention on a few emblematic objects, often related to music. The Red Violin is part of this period of formal stripping down, where the object becomes the main motif, isolated in a simplified, almost abstract pictorial space.
The scene shows a violin resting on a table, with a large red background and a white sheet of paper, perhaps a score. The frame is minimalist, structured around a few black lines marking the contours. Color dominates: a saturated red covers most of the canvas, with few nuances or textures. The absence of detail, decoration or depth places all attention on the shape of the instrument. The whole evokes less a realistic scene than a formal study of color, line and the silent presence of the object.
