Photo: LIFE
In the photo, the late French Fauvist painter Raoul Dufy is working with water colors in the sunshine, wearing a white hat, white jacket, tan trousers and what appear to be brown espadrilles.
White linen makes an elegant summer jacket but it shows every bit of dirt. I am confident that if I had a canvas on my lap my clothes would resemble my paint palette in a matter of moments. Mr. Dufy, on the other hand, appears to be immaculate, though we are not told whether he was actually working or simply posing for posterity.

I suppose you CAN count on the Fauvists for the very most perfect choice in neckwear; we are humbled.
That dot is the ne plus ultra choice no doubt about that.
The trousers are the sand or "sea-dirt" I mentioned a few days ago and a good suiting weight Belgian linen.
M. Dufy seems unconcerned with the three inch brush which, I agree Will, would have had me covered in that strange green completely in seconds.
Many thanks again
