(After) Kees van Dongen
Cornelis Theodorus Maria (Kees) van Dongen (Rotterdam-Delfshaven, January 26, 1877 - Monte Carlo, May 28, 1968) was a Dutch-born painter who lived in France for much of his life. His work made him one of the most important Dutch representatives of Fauvism. He began exhibiting his work in Paris, including at the notorious 1905 exhibition at the Salon d'Automne with Henri Matisse and others. The bright colors that this group of artists employed earned them the nickname Les Fauves ("Wild Beasts"). Van Dongen was also a brief member of the German expressionist group Die Brücke.
