One of the creators of Fauvism
Release the color then rebuild the shape
Born in Chatou, André Derain met Matisse at the Camillo Academy and shared a workshop with Vlaminck. In Collioure in 1905, its pure color contributed to the birth of Fauvism. He then explored portrait, landscape, still life, sculpture and decor while seeking a personal balance between modernity and classical art. The "André Derain" selection notably compares Madame Paul Guillaume with the big hat and Henri Matisse. His reading favors composition.
In Derain, color can set the landscape on fire or retreat to let the figure regain the weight of the old masters.
