Sea Horse
This conversation is connected to Sea Horse.
A highly stylized, imaginative depiction of a mythological sea horse. The creature is painted with sweeping, calligraphic outlines in dark brown, distinguishing its flowing mane and tail. Its body is split into expressive blocks of pale pink and white, set against a vibrant, unblended background of emerald green and deep sea blue. At the bottom, dark, triangular geometric forms suggest rocky outcroppings or stylized waves. Dufy’s playful, fluid brushwork and non-representational use of color reflect his deep roots in Fauvism and his enduring fascination with maritime mythology.
