Landscape

André Derain's Landscape exemplifies his early Fauvist style, characterized by riotous Fauvism colourism and bold, expressive brushwork. Created on canvas using vibrant oil paints, the work captures a vivid, emotional portrayal of nature. However, as his style evolved around 1910, Derain's approach became more austere, reflecting his study of Cézanne and old masters. Post-World War I, he shifted towards a return to order and classicism, moving away from the wild colours of Fauvism towards a more disciplined aesthetic.
