André Derain (1880–1954) was a pivotal figure in early 20th-century art, known as a co-founder of Fauvism and a contributor to Cubism. Derain influences included Paul Cézanne and non-Western sculpture along with Renaissance imagery and the decorative arts. As a result, he developed a style characterized by bold color and expressive form. Derain studied under Eugène Carrière and also formed a close artistic relationship with Henri Matisse. Their collaboration in Collioure in 1905 led to the defining works of the Fauvist movement. Thus, they were labeled "les fauves" at the Salon d’Automne.
After a period of crisis in 1910, Derain destroyed much of his unsold work and shifted toward a more classical style. Derain’s work has been exhibited widely including solo shows at the Galerie Paul Guillaume in 1916 and later retrospectives at major institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. His enduring influence reflects a career that connected radical innovation and classical tradition.
