Raoul Dufy (1877-1953) Anemones (1937), Anemones (1953) & Anemones (1949). Dufy had a sketchy relaxed style of painting & this is readily apparent in his studies of the flower. They are the essence of 1950s French style.

Airing on @TCM at 8 p.m. EST is BATTLEGROUND (1949). If you haven't seen it, watch it. Terrific ensemble cast, but notice the focus is really Marshall Thompson transformation. This is one of my top five favorite films. #LetsMovie #TCMParty #31DaysOfOscar
