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

Review:
"In the 1930s a group of leading French doctors set out to convince the rest of the world that wine was the best medicine you could have, and Benjamin Ivry's delightful translation of Mon Docteur le Vin is just what the doctor ordered. Paul Lukacs's introduction provides an essential historical context that reveals as much about the country as it does about wine itself." Donald and Petie Kladstrup, authors of Wine and War: The French, the Nazis, and the Battle for France's Greatest Treasure.
