#cuadrodeldía Vista de Collioure, 1905 (André #Derain 1880-1954) #MuseoFolkwang Essen #art Francés fauvista con dos grandes influencias: cubismo y primitivismo. Amigo de Matisse y Vlaminck, expresaba la emoción con el color #FelizViernes
Made in 1913–1914, this portrait reflects French artist André Derain’s move away from the high-key color of early Fauvism toward a quieter, more austere seriousness with dark tones, elongated forms, and a deliberate sense of “severity” that critics often linked to a Gothic mood. A nearly empty background refuses anecdote with no home, no street, and no props … just a young woman’s presence, dignified and self-contained. She sits upright on a rounded wooden chair, centered against a wide, cool blue-gray background. Her skin is medium-brown, softly modeled with visible brushwork like warm blush at the cheeks, a long straight nose, and slightly downturned lips that keep her expression peaceful but muted. Her gaze drifts just past ours rather than meeting us directly. Her black hair is parted and smoothed close to the head, gathered into neat side coils at the ears. She wears a high-necked black dress with a faint floral pattern, its dark fabric absorbing light, and a broad white lace collar that fans across her shoulders like a delicate, scalloped shield. Her posture is closed: arms folded across her lap, one hand resting over the other, wrists relaxed but held close. Behind her head, the chair’s striped back (muted reds, creams, and greens) frames her like an arch, and a pale pink seat cushion peeks from the left side. The paint surface stays intentionally plain with edges simplified, shadows restrained, so her face and hands feel weighty and still, as if she is holding a long pose with practiced patience. This painting also carries a major collecting history: it entered Sergei Shchukin’s Moscow collection via the Paris dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, then passed through the state museums formed after 1917 before arriving at the Hermitage. In that long journey, the sitter remains unnamed, but not generalized as the crisp lace, folded arms, and steady near-sidelong gaze insist on individuality. She is seen not as decoration, but as a person with a real life.

In 1921 Derain lived for a time at Castel Gandolfo, a picturesque spot south-east of Rome that is still today the summer residence of the Pope. It was constructed above Lake Albano back in the Middle Ages. Archaeologists discovered that this was the site of Ancient Roman Alba Longa, one of the oldest cities in Latium, destroyed by King Tullus Hostilius in 655 BC. When he found himself on the ancient road leading to Castel Gandolfo, flanked by rocks and mighty, centuries-old trees, Derain could not help feeling to be connected with history. In this landscape he conveyed the austerity and monumentality that seemed to him the finest and chief characteristic of Ancient Roman art. In the painting one does not immediately notice the solitary figure walking down the road. It is there to provide scale, to let the viewer sense the smallness of the human being in the face of history and nature.

The painting is a key work from André Derain’s ‘Fauvist’ period (from the French, Le fauve: the wild ones). It has its origins in a summer spent with older fellow artist Henri Matisse in 1905 in the town of Collioure in south France. There, they both experimented with using colors in new ways, beyond a purely descriptive function, such as showing us that the sea is blue, so colors also describe emotional states. His painting shows a red-headed dancer from the restaurant and night club Le rat mort (The Dead Rat), which was also one of Toulouse-Lautrec’s regular haunts. Half undressed, the dancer sits with her blue stockinged legs crossed, slumped on what looks like a bed as she looks directly out at us. It’s a tremendously strong image. The composition has been very carefully thought through, based on a triangular system, and the overall effect gives the painting a strong monumentality. The stringency of the composition and the simple colour scheme with its vivid contrasts helps create a visual impact that is almost poster-like. Effortless nonchalance and confident mastery —that’s the winning combination which enabled Derain to create this masterpiece that now ranks among the SMK museum’s ten greatest highlights – and among many visitors’ firm favorites. “Woman in a Chemise” has often been used as the eye-catching feature of publications, posters and in other contexts because it has such striking visual impact and is so easily recognisable, even if one doesn’t remember the artist. It’s an amazingly virtuoso picture. Derain’s works with composition, colours and lines in a hugely sophisticated manner. If you look more closely at the female figure’s hand, it is completely deformed, but still it seems exactly right in the picture, giving it a sense of freshness and wildness.

NEW FOR 2025.
Throughout the month I will share information on a certain art style and/or technique. Given our AOTW, Derain was the co-founder of Fauvism, I thought it would be a great time to explain a bit more about the style

Derain represents Geneviève Géry leaning on her left foot, her right knee folded on a chair. Each tip of his feet rests on an edge of the painting. Her white “Sunday” dress and face illuminate the canvas, composed of a harmony of browns and yellows. The geometric lines are only tempered by a round hat with red flowers and the red flowers in the basket.
