Flags 1906 — Fine Art

Flags 1906 shows several thin vertical shapes standing on a pale ground. The strokes come from a quick hand, with some pressure changes along each one. Raoul Dufy repeats the flag shapes so they look like a row of signals. The marks stay simple and do not fill the whole sheet.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger on the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame needs to be bought. The paper stays flat against the wall and the pale tones stay soft under a lamp.

It sits on a kitchen wall above the sink, where you see the vertical shapes while washing dishes. From the table you notice the small gaps between each flag and the way the pale ground holds the marks together.
