Still life
André Derain's Still life exemplifies his evolution from the vibrant Fauve style, characterized by riotous colourism in canvas-based oil paintings, to a more restrained and classical approach by 1910. Influenced by Cézanne and the old masters, Derain’s work reflects a shift towards Neoclassicism and the Return to Order after WWI. This still life captures his interest in form and composition, displaying a quiet elegance that contrasts with his earlier Fauvist works.
