London Bridge

André Derain's London Bridge captures a vibrant cityscape rendered on a canvas using oil paints. Reflecting his early Fauvist style, the artwork is characterized by riotous, expressive colors that breathe life into the scene. Over time, Derain's work shifted towards more austerity, influenced by Cézanne and the old masters, especially after WWI, leading to a Return to Order in his style. This painting exemplifies his evolution from bold coloration to a more structured, classical approach within the cityscape genre.
