André Derain
was born in 1880 in Chatou, Yvelines, just outside Paris. In 1898,
while studying to be an engineer at the Académie Camillo, he
attended painting classes under Eugène Carrière, and there met
Matisse. In 1900, he met and shared a studio with Maurice de
Vlaminck and began to paint his first landscapes. His studies were
interrupted from 1901 to 1904 when he was conscripted into the
French army. Following his release from service, Matisse persuaded
Derain's parents to allow him to abandon his engineering career and
devote himself solely to painting; subsequently Derain attended the
Académie Julian.
Derain and
Matisse worked together through the summer of 1905 in the
Mediterranean village of Collioure and later that year displayed
their highly innovative paintings at the Salon d'Automne. The vivid,
unnatural colors led the critic Louis Vauxcelles to derisively dub
their works as les Fauves, or "the wild beasts", marking the start
of the Fauvist movement...>>
