Maurice Vlaminck and Andre Derain were good friends and neighbors in
France; they made a spectacular pair. Both were huge and both
wore conspicuous clothes. One of Vlaminck's favorite items of
costume was a painted wooden necktie. They lived and worked in a
seaside suburb called Chatou and invited Matisse to visit them
there. Thus began one of the most fruitful associations in modern
French art: Fauvism.
Despite their friendship there were wide
differences (showing 500 of 4543 characters). |
