Mon Docteur Le Vin: Watercolors by Raoul Dufy (Henry McBride Series in Modernism & Modernity) - Tapa blanda

Raoul Dufy’s joyful watercolors and Gaston Derys’ witty prose come together in this charming volume to extol the many joys and benefits of wine. First published in French in 1936, the book reflects the exuberance and élan of an earlier day, when a glass of wine was a frequent medicinal and therapeutic remedy.
 
“[A] slender classic of enduringly great art and adorable ‘retro’ wine propaganda. . . . [It] makes a whimsical, special gift with a bottle of wine.”—Wine News
 
“You can get truly drunk on Dufy’s intoxicating, color-splashed illustrations.”—Toronto Globe and Mail
