Description
A Window Into 1939 Parisian Design Excellence
This authentic 1959 lithograph preserves Raoul Dufy’s iconic 1939 design for the 13th Salon of the Société des Artistes Décorateurs at the Louvre. The composition is a masterclass in Art Deco elegance—an interior scene bursting with pattern, color, and sophisticated furnishings rendered in Dufy’s characteristic palette of reds, blues, and warm neutrals. The poster captures the optimism and visual exuberance of pre-war Parisian decorative arts.
Historical Context
This salon, held May 16–July 16, 1939, at the Grand Palais, represented the apex of French decorative design during the interwar period. Dufy’s design exemplifies how modernist artists promoted cutting-edge interior decoration and applied arts. The 1959 lithographic printing preserves this celebrated design for new generations of collectors.
