André Derain

Painting

A ndré Derain, a central force in the birth of Fauvism, revolutionized modern art through his bold use of flattened forms and electrifying color, developed alongside Henri Matisse in the early 1900s. Though he later embraced classicism, his influence endures, with works in major museums worldwide and top auction prices—such as Arbres à Collioure reaching $24 million—underscoring his lasting impact on 20th-century art.
