Maurice De Vlaminck

Early Life and Career

Maurice de Vlaminck, a French painter, was born on April 4, 1876, in Paris. His father, Edmond Julien, was Flemish and taught violin, while his mother, Joséphine Caroline Grillet, came from Lorraine and taught piano. Vlaminck's early life was marked by his father teaching him to play the violin. He began painting in his late teens.

The Fauvist Movement

Vlaminck is considered one of the principal figures in the Fauve movement, a group of modern artists who, from 1904 to 1908, were united in their use of intense color. Along with André Derain and Henri Matisse, Vlaminck was one of the Fauves at the controversial Salon d'Automne exhibition of 1905.

Notable Works and Style

Vlaminck's groundbreaking paintings, such as Sur le zinc (At the Bar) and L'homme a la pipe (Man Smoking a Pipe), painted in 1900, showcased his exuberant paint application and vibrant use of color. His landscape paintings, like Sous bois (1904), ignored details, with the landscape becoming a mere excuse to express mood through violent color and brushwork.

Influences and Later Work

Vlaminck's compositions show familiarity with the Impressionists. After visiting a Van Gogh exhibit, he declared that he "loved Van Gogh that day more than my own father." From 1908, his palette grew more monochromatic, influenced by Cézanne. His later work displayed a dark palette, punctuated by heavy strokes of contrasting white paint.

Legacy and Available Works

Vlaminck died on October 11, 1958, in Rueil-la-Gadelière. Today, his works can be found in various museums and collections. On WahooArt.com, you can explore Vlaminck's paintings, such as Bougival, and discover the wonders of Fauvism. Discover the world of art with WahooArt.
