Jean Dufy

Jean Dufy (1888 - 1964) was active/lived in France.  Jean Dufy is known for Painting-city scenes and musicians, porcelain decoration, theatre sets.

From LeHavre and an arts-oriented family of eleven children including the famous Raoul Dufy (1877-1953), Jean Dufy showed artistic ability from childhood.  Throughout his future career, his older brother, Raoul, encouraged him.  Jean not only did fine-art painting but painted theatre sets.  To earn money, he was a clerk for an overseas import business and even served as secretary on a transatlantic liner, La Savoie, which traveled between New York and Le Havre.
