Investigating the Authenticity of Works of art believed to be by or Attributed to Raoul Dufy
Born on 3 June 1877, in Le Havre, France, Painter - Best remembered as a devoted follower of Fauvism,
|
Raoul Dufy's colourful and vibrant watercolours have always captured the very essence of France and the French way of life during the early 1900's. But with Dufy's popularity surging as he brought to life images of the Cote D'Azur and the Riviera, yachting scenes and colourful regattas, horse racing and socialite parties, his paintings values have risen incredibly, bringing with it an influx of Dufy forgers and fakers, intent on making a killing by introducing effective and convincing Raoul Dufy fakes and forgeries onto the open art market. In 1967 Elmyr de Hory was exposed for forging works of art claiming to be by Dufy, Picasso and Derain. Then Britain's Tom Keating openly admitted to creating a plethora of Raoul Dufy fakes, as did John Myatt more recently. So to the Frenchman Geert Jan Jansen who faked dozens, both watercolours and oil paintings claiming to be by Dufy too. In recent years an ever growing number of paintings bearing the name Raoul Dufy have been sold in major auctions around the world and as the values of works of art by him consistently climb ever higher, there is an ever greater need for confirmation of legitimacy. So it would follow, that any works of art that do surface from the mists of time, will require both a comprehensive and thorough investigation of their backgrounds and authenticity. Or similar scrutiny made for confirmation that any previously given attribution is correct and that any description of a work of art seemingly by Raoul Dufy can truly be relied upon. With such very high values of his paintings prevailing in the art market and the demand, even for modest works by collectors, then attempts at imitation by forgery and at all different levels is an obvious but sad consequence. Apart from copyist faking, one of the simplest ploys adopted by those intending to deceive, is to add a signature or monogram to an otherwise anonymous work. Apply a forged studio stamp, or a new and persuasive inscription or gallery label to a picture and the deception is set.. It need only to be one of a vaguely similar nature or style to that of the artist that is claiming to be by and there are usually many followers and student of the arts emulators creating product that is similar. This is the most common form of criminal deception that we see. * * * We are international fine art consultants and investigators based in the UK, specialising in conducting full investigations into the authenticity of works of art created by artists in all categories, from all regions and historical eras.

It's quite easy to mistake a Dufy print for an original watercolour if you have believe the story you have been told by your family all your life. Take this rarely seen Dufy work. A Chateaux entrance, for example, believed for years to be an original Dufy painting. |

Le Haras du Pin |
|
^ It's not until you enlarge part of the signature area does this give its real identity away. Some straightforward research and we can now identify the original painting as being the one on the right called; Le Haras du Pin, Normandy. First painted by Dufy in 1936 and many times between 1930 -39. |
Here yeou can see the the secret hidden signature of a commercial Lithograph made using photographic technology. Paint sits on top of a canvas or soaks into the paper, not does not change itself into dots or lines as in the picture above right. Unfortunatelty for ithe pictures owner, this scotches the family myth. It is a vintage Lithograph that was printed by the United States Printing and Lithograph Company -New York Graphical Society Ltd. Greenwich, Connecticut. in 1945 and was priced at $18.00.

ABOUT A WORK OF ART DESCRIPTOR AND ITS TERMINOLOGY
*It is most important to very clearly understand the auction terms that are used in any published descriptor and to be cautious of works that may just be created in the manner of the artist, or those which could be variants of the artists works of art that bear a signature or monogram. In this case as if they were defining the creations of the British artist Raoul Dufy (1877-1953).
