Paris (France), Mar 10 (EFE), (Camera: Mario García Sánchez).- The Montmartre Museum opened Wednesday "Le Paris de Dufy", an exhibition that, for the first time, brings together the works by the versatile artist Raoul Dufy (1877-1953) in the French capital.FOOTAGE OF THE EXHIBIT.SOUNDBITES OF SASKIA OOMS, HEAD OF CONSERVATION AR MONTMARTRE MUSEUM: "He shows Paris from a bird's eye view, with panoramic views. Something that he is going to do throughout his career. That is what is interesting for Dufy. And, above all, that he does it for all formats." "There is a lot of blue colour. In addition, he painted the blue walls of his workshop to give a feeling of fusion between the interior and the exterior." "He kept this workshop in Montmartre throughout his life and we wanted to open this exhibition with all the works that he did in Paris. That is why the Montmartre Museum organised this exhibition." "It is a very difficult situation for all museums in France and it is a pity that the Museum has to be closed because, in other countries, such as Belgium, Spain and Italy, the museums are open."
