In fact,
the only way Berthe Weill, the principal sponsor of the Fauve
artists, could get Dufy's works to be exhibited along with the
other Fauve artists was to show his works in a different room.
Dufy was not fully accepted into the circle until the Salon d'Automne
exhibition in 1907.
He was forced throughout his life to take on odd jobs here and
there to make a living, such as driving a van for the military
postal service Dufy travelled often and was exposed to the many
works of other artists. Many admire his talent for depicting architecture
so eloquently through his use of color. This is especially the
case in his work Le Trouville.
