Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
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.
