GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Born in Paris, France, Maurice de Vlaminck was a mechanic, journalist, musician, and professional bicyclist before embarking on a successful career as a painter. He began to teach himself painting as a teenager and befriended fellow artist André Derain in 1900 when they were both in the military. In 1901, the pair attended a Vincent Van Gogh exhibition in Paris. In addition to absorbing the Dutch artist's vibrant color palette and emotive paint application, Vlaminck met Henri Matisse during the show. Four years later, Vlaminck, Derain, and Matisse were part of a group exhibition at the Salon d'Automne in Paris. Their stylistic approach, in which color was freed from the task of visual description, became known as Fauvism. The label derives from the French term “les fauves,” meaning “wild beasts,” and references the aggressive brushwork and use of saturated, nonrealistic color by the artists.
Vlaminck's Fauvist period was short-lived. Paul Cézanne's 1907 retrospective exhibition persuaded Vlaminck to gradually take a more controlled, structured approach to his works. Regardless of his stylistic approach, Vlaminck focused on the the rural landscapes around Paris through his artistic career.
