André Derain didn’t just paint — he detonated colour. As co-founder of Fauvism alongside Henri Matisse, this French artist shocked the 1905 Salon d’Automne with canvases so wildly vivid that critics called them the work of les Fauves — “the wild beasts.” Born in Chatou in 1880, Derain spent the legendary summer of 1905 painting the Mediterranean light of Collioure in blazing, unnatural hues that broke every rule of traditional art, then turned his fauvist style loose on the streets and bridges of London in a series of 30 paintings that remain among the most celebrated cityscapes ever made. From the sun-drenched south of France to the misty Thames, from Cubist experiments with Picasso in Montmartre to ballet designs for Diaghilev, Derain moved through the great movements of modern art with a restless brilliance — and his work now hangs in the collections of MoMA, the Met, the National Gallery, and the Hermitage.
