What is Fauvism, and why is Derain important to the movement?
Fauvism was an early 20th-century movement known for bold, non-naturalistic colors. André Derain was a co-founder, using vibrant hues to express emotion rather than literal reality.
Why did André Derain paint the Charing Cross Bridge in 1906?
Art dealer Ambroise Vollard commissioned Derain to paint London to capture the city's unique light, mirroring Monet’s earlier series but using the radical new Fauvist style.
