MAURICE DE VLAMINCK
“In art, theories are as useful as a doctor’s prescription; one be sick to believe [the other].”-Maurice de Vlaminck
10
Born in Paris from two musical parents Didn’t get to have “the best” education
› Still very curious and emotionally fearless Seen in his works that he was not afraid
of how the public would react› Rebellion, roughness, and disorder
Met Derain on a train; shared a studio in the city Chatou
After fauvism, turned toward more conserved paintings

ANDRE DERAIN DERAIN
“I used color as means of expressing my emotion and not a transcription of nature”- Andre Derain
12
Studied with de Vlaminck in Paris Met Matisse in 1899 and began to work
together Can see a lot of Impressionist subjects in his
work› Landscapes› Cities
Was drafted into the war from 1901-1904 and art studies intrupted
When he returned, jumped right into Fauvism with his old friends

GEORGES ROUAULT
“My only objective is to paint a Christ so moving that those who see him will be converted.”-Georges Rouault
14
Cubism, expressionism, and fauvism all part of his work; but never wanted to be tied to a specific movement
Very religious, aimed to show life in “best light”
Paintings sought to reveal society’s imperfections
Paintings showed this by using violent colors and sharp strokes
Also studied at L’Ecole de Beaux Arts under Moreau

Exhibition at Salon d’Automne 1905 shocked many people › Where critic Louis Vauxcelles gave them their name
All of the works put in a room with a renaissance statue put in the middle of them all
Some saw as political statement since colors challenged normal aesthetics of traditional art
Judges of Salon asked Fauves to stop painting “out of respect”
Positive critics said paintings were “flat”; considered a window to the world
