Art of Century - The Fauves

About this publication

參考價：USD8.99 Born at the dawn of the 20th century, Fauvism burst onto the artistic scene at the 1905 Salon d'Automne with great controversy by throwing bright, vibrant colours in the face of artistic convention. Fuelled by change, artists like Matisse, Derain, and Vlaminck searched for a new chromatic language by using colour out of its habitual context. Freed from the strict technique advocated by the École des Beaux-Arts, they used blocky colours as their main resource, saturating their stunning paintings. The author invites us to experience this vivid artistic evolution that, although encompassing a short amount of time, left its mark on the path to modernity. About the author: Since 1961, Nathalia Brodskaïa is curator of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. The author has published monographs on Rousseau, Renoir, Derain, Vlaminck and Van Dongen. She has also written other titles on the Fauves. She currently devotes her time to researching the French painters of the beginning of the 20th century.
