About the Item
Small head in pencil. original drawing painting
André Derain (Chatou, June 10, 1880-Garches, September 8, 1954) was a French painter, illustrator and set designer, representative of Fauvism.
Derain was eighteen years old when he entered the Carriere Academy, where he met Henri Matisse and Maurice de Vlaminck. In 1905 these painters exhibited in the Autumn Salon together with their colleagues Georges Rouault and Henri Manguin, being the first exhibition of the Fovista group, in which emotion was expressed with color. He was also a decorator and costume designer for ballet and theater and a collector of works of art.
He was the soul of the Fovism with his penchant for nuances, his impetuous youth, and his feverish perseverance. Derain demonstrated his receptivity to the new dogma of "form through color" by admiring Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne. He made a series of paintings of this style, first in Collioure, in 1905, and then in London in 1906, among which he painted "A Corner of Hyde Park", "The Westminster Bridge" and "The London Bridge". At the beginning of 1908, without reason or explanation, he destroyed his works, and devoted himself to painting landscapes similar to those of Cézanne. For a short interval he leaned towards the Cubist style. After the First World War, Derain opted for classical drawing, which is why he carefully followed Camille Corot's sketches, and also achieved considerable work. A controversial and very famous painter in life, his work went through several very different periods and was later criticized for his return to pictorial forms considered "traditional".
