About the artist:


Jules Dules Duffart painted various subjects from landscapes and still lives to portraits and genre scenes. He is known for his careful choice of color palettes, matching their chromatic range beautifully. Duffart was also a master of line work, especially in his landscapes. He creates distinct, dark outlines of hard, angular shapes with a confident, draftsmanly touch and fills these shapes with the dynamic and shining colors for which Duffart is beloved. He often uses color in a delicate chromatic range in a similar style to that of Bernard Buffet, but his palette can range from subdued and subtle to dark and gritty or full of color, always presented in an impasto style. Buffet's exemplary modernist French School oil on canvas paintings are perfect for any classic modern 50s or 60s interior. While Duffart was a prolific artist, there is surprisingly little biographical information to be found about him, although one chronicler of the Paris art world of the 1950s wrote glowingly about the young artist at that time. The work of Jules Dules Duffart is held in numerous collections in France and Europe. See less
