Marcel Dyf Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, b. 1899 - d. 1985

Influenced by Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements, artist Marcel Dyf was self-taught, becoming a full-time artist in his early twenties. Inspirational country scenes, waterways, and florals were all subjects of Marcel Dyf prints. He would often paint the French countryside of Arles, as he had a studio there in the 1920s. Boating on the Seine, an oil on canvas, is one of the many paintings that has been reproduced to make Marcel Dyf prints. As a member of L'Ecole Francais, Dyf became well known, resulting in successful exhibitions in Britain and the United States.

Portraits of his wife Claudine, who was 36 years his junior, can be found among Marcel Dyf paintings for sale. Despite their age difference, they were happy together, and she frequently did sittings for her husband at his Cannes studio.

CONTACT US SKU#: 127426 US SHIPPING: $139 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: Dyf was born in Paris, October 7, 1899. He was considered a figure, still life, and landscape painter from the French School. Frost and Reed of London represented Marcel Dyf for most of his entire career. It was during their 1987 exhibition that Marcel Dyf's untimely death was announced. His death brought ever closer the end of an era.Dyf was one of the few true post-impressionist still living. The 1987 exhibition was closed until the estate could be properly sorted. In 1990 Frost and Reed organized a Retrospective Exhibition, which was overwhelmingly received. Dyf, like many other young French artists, was heavily influenced by Pierre A. Renoir. Dyf took the influence of Renoir and developed his own definite style.During his early career, Marcel Dyf started exhibiting at the Salon des Artists Francois, Salon d'Automore and Salon Des Tulleries (at the Louvre). His acceptance was immediate and his career became more than ever expected. It was during these exhibitions that Marcel Dyf was introduced to Frost and Reed of London. Frost and Reed's interest may have been the single most important event in his career. It was through them and their contacts that Marcel Dyf began exhibiting in London, New York, Dallas, San Francisco, and many other international cities. It was through them and their efforts and Marcel's popularity that prints of all his work were being produced and sold throughout the world.

CONTACT US SKU#: 127426 US SHIPPING: $120 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: Dyf was born in Paris, October 7, 1899. He was considered a figure, still life, and landscape painter from the French School. Frost and Reed of London represented Marcel Dyf for most of his entire career. It was during their 1987 exhibition that Marcel Dyf's untimely death was announced. His death brought ever closer the end of an era.Dyf was one of the few true post-impressionist still living. The 1987 exhibition was closed until the estate could be properly sorted. In 1990 Frost and Reed organized a Retrospective Exhibition, which was overwhelmingly received. Dyf, like many other young French artists, was heavily influenced by Pierre A. Renoir. Dyf took the influence of Renoir and developed his own definite style.During his early career, Marcel Dyf started exhibiting at the Salon des Artists Francois, Salon d'Automore and Salon Des Tulleries (at the Louvre). His acceptance was immediate and his career became more than ever expected. It was during these exhibitions that Marcel Dyf was introduced to Frost and Reed of London. Frost and Reed's interest may have been the single most important event in his career. It was through them and their contacts that Marcel Dyf began exhibiting in London, New York, Dallas, San Francisco, and many other international cities. It was through them and their efforts and Marcel's popularity that prints of all his work were being produced and sold throughout the world.
