Description
Bords de rivière (River Banks), Painted circa 1904-1905 by André Derain. "Fauvism was our ordeal by fire... Colors became charges of dynamite." André Derain in this piece, a tree-lined section of the Seine has been transformed into a dazzling symphony of saturated color. Pools of flaming orange collide with strokes of cobalt blue, pink & cadmium yellow in the foreground, while the stretch of water appears as a passage of radiant white, the ripples described with daubs of paint that shimmer with light. With color liberated from its centuries-old descriptive role & deployed instead according to its expressive & material qualities, Bords de rivière is a quintessential example of Fauvism, the movement that Derain, along with Matisse & Vlaminck pioneered throughout 1905 & 1906. ➤ ABOUT THE POSTER Museum-quality posters made on thick & durable matte paper.
