Impressionist/Fauvist painting

[thorstaffie]

Can anyone please help me find the painter who was a graphic artist and designer who began as an impressionist but converted to the Fauvist Movement. He painted a picture which has subject matter of people walking along a quayside/promenade,a pier with a lighthouse at the end and seabirds.

Thank you Shaneystar. No it isn't the exact picture but very similiar. Almost a mirror image. It must be Dufy as the technique is so similar.

Jno thanks - same pier and lighthouse and people but my painting is from the other side of the pier. So I'm going with Dufy. Thanks again

oh that was Dufy too. That lighthouse must be like the Forth Bridge, needs painting all the time.
