André derain
André Derain was a French painter who, alongside Henri Matisse, co-founded the Fauvist movement. Born on June 10, 1880 in
Chatou, Derain learned to paint by himself at an early age and met Matisse in a class taught by the symbolist
Eugène Carrière. Derain and Matisse retired in the summer of 1905 to the Mediterranean village of Collioure, which became a retreat for artists such as Pablo Picasso and Tsuguharu Foujita. The two artists developed a style of painting that used artificial and luminous color patterns to depict realistic subjects. A year later, they showed their work at the Salon d'Automne where the critic Louis Vauxcelles ironically called them Fauves, which marked the beginning of the Fauvist movement. Derain received the Carnegie Prize in 1928 for his painting Still life with Dead Game, which brought him fame and allowed him to tour his work in the West in the 1920s. He later discovered modern art and the tone of his work became more classical. He was accused of being a Nazi sympathizer and died on September 8, 1954 in Garches, France.
