Banks of Seine

"Banks of Seine" by André Derain (circa 1905) exemplifies the innovative style of the Fauve movement, characterized by its bold use of intense colour and expressive brushwork. Painted in oil on canvas, this artwork captures a vibrant cityscape along the Seine River. Derain's approach shows a departure from traditional representation, emphasizing emotional impact, aligning with Expressionism. The painting's energetic composition and striking colour palette exemplify the revolutionary artistic ideas that defined early 20th-century modern art.
