Thyssen-Bornemisza — André Derain

Artwork notes

A useful comparison with the freer, brighter Fauvist pictures.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Early oil paint can remain visibly dabbed onto a light ground.

Marks and structure

Separated strokes give early landscapes a mosaic-like rhythm; later forms become more settled.

Palette and light

Early saturated contrasts give way to more restrained, earthy combinations in later work.
