Tate Modern + Raoul Dufy

I'm visiting the Tate Modern today where I'm going to note down some names of inspiring artists to look at. I will particularly be watching out for primitive style/fauvists. I'm going to take note of their style and practice of mark making, colour, expression as something to bring into my work.
Here is an example of Raoul Dufy's work...
His fabric designs are particularly inspiring!! Look into Collaborations with Poiret...
Also google LALIE textiles (inspiring patterns).

Just So Stories

After listening to the radio talk about Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories I felt inspired to buy the book and read them whilst in Spain. I think it is something that could make a great project with enough scope and research behind it. Perhaps I could look at painter's who work in quite a naive privitive fauvist style. For example Henri Rousseau. It is quite a different idea from anything else I have done before so could be very interesting for me.

However I must think how i can perhaps combine some of my previous ideas within this?
Certainly my photos from thailand would fit very well, but maybe not some of the other ideas I have written about on here.
