Le Modele hindou dans l'atelier
Raoul Dufy French
Not on view
In this pen and ink drawing, Dufy employs lively, vibrant hatching and cross hatching to depict the model, Anmaviti Pontry. Pontry is depicted in several of the artist’s drawings and paintings between 1928 and 1930, which alternately identify her as Hindu, Indian, or Persian in their titles. Dufy’s repeated return to this model and the various cultural identities impressed upon her by his choice of titles provide a modern example of the longstanding Orientalist impulse in European art and the conscious effort to exoticize non-European models.
