Lot Essay

One of the prominent figures of the modern movement, Derain painted landscapes and figure studies in brilliant, sometimes pure colours and used broken brushstrokes and impulsive lines to define his spontaneous compositions. In 1905, André Derain painted side by side with Henri Matisse on the French riviera, blazing the trail of the movement that would, in the Salon d'Automne that was held sometime after their return to Paris later that year, be dubbed the 'Fauves.' As his interests evolved, Derain’s oeuvre drew upon a diverse range of sources including the work of Paul Cézanne and from 1908 through 1913, Derain’s continued interest in proto-Cubist style, resulted in a series of landscapes such as our present work.
