Product Description
European painters of the early twentieth century experimented with non-naturalistic colors, executed in a raw, rugged style. An astounded public came to know these artists as Les Fauves (the wild beasts), and this riotously colorful collection celebrates a revolutionary school of painting with brilliant reproductions of Albert Marquet's Le Pin Parasol, Saint-Tropez and Le Port de Saint-Tropez; Charles Camoin's La rue Bouterie and Le Port de Marseille; Maurice de Vlaminck's La Danseuse du "Rat Mort" and Voilier sur la Seine, plus 18 more, including works by Kees van Dongen, André Derain, Louis Valtat, and Henri Manguin.

Kapitel: Georges Braque, Henri Matisse, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, Kees Van Dongen, Georges Rouault, Raoul Dufy, Othon Friesz, Albert Marquet. Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Georges Braque (13 May 1882 - 31 August 1963) was a major 20th century French painter and sculptor who, along with Pablo Picasso, developed the art movement known as Cubism. Georges Braque was born in Argenteuil, Val-d'Oise. He grew up in Le Havre and trained to be a house painter and decorator like his father and grandfather. However, he also studied serious painting in the evenings at the École des Beaux-Arts, in Le Havre, from about 1897 to 1899. In Paris, he apprenticed with a decorator and was awarded his certificate in 1902. The following year, he attended the Académie Humbert, also in Paris, and painted there until 1904. It was here that he met Marie Laurencin and Francis Picabia. His earliest works were impressionistic, but after seeing the work exhibited by the Fauves in 1905, Braque adopted a Fauvist style. The Fauves, a group that included Henri Matisse and André Derain among others, used brilliant colors and loose structures of forms to capture the most intense emotional response. Braque worked most closely with the artists Raoul Dufy and Othon Friesz, who shared Braque's hometown of Le Havre, to develop a somewhat more subdued Fauvist style. In 1906, Braque traveled with Friesz to L'Estaque, to Antwerp, and home to Le Havre to paint. In May 1907, he successfully exhibited works in the Fauve style in the Salon des Indépendants. The same year, Braque's style began a slow evolution as he came under the strong influence of Paul Cézanne, who died in 1906, and whose works were exhibited in Paris for the first time in a large-scale, museum-like retrospective in September 1907. The 1907 Cézanne retrospective at the Salon d'Automne greatly impacted the direction that the avant-garde in Paris took, leading to the advent of Cubism. Geo...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more
