New hanging from the collection of Raoul Dufy "of le Havre in Nice... with the sea as a witness"at the Museum of Fine Arts Jules Chéret.

The evolution of Raoul Dufy is remarkable: since his research Impressionist with the port of le Havre - ready of the Malraux Museum, Le Havre, that can be put in parallel with the work of Eugène Boudin that he has known and appreciated (the Bay of Villefranche - Museum of B) waters - Arts of Nice), his taste for the color tawny with the beginnings of cubism - Casino Marie-Christine, 1910 - ready of the Museum Malraux, Le Havre - boats at L'estaque, the great bather, to get to a style more staff that appeals to the symbols with a use of color and very free line - the beach at the Bay of angels Holy address. This development will be highlighted by a selection of works from the Museum of Nice (oils and drawings, engravings, ceramics) and kind of Malraux (haven) Museum and the Museum loans Hyacinthe Rigaud (Perpignan). Some artists whose work impressed Dufy (Boudin, Marquet, Matisse, Braque, Cézanne, Picasso) are evoked through the works of the collection of the Museum.
