1880-1954, André Derain










































































































































André Derain is best known for his contributions to the developments of Fauvism and Cubism, two avant-garde movements from the beginning of the 20th century. Derain was born on June 17, 1880 in Chatou, just outside of Paris. He began his training by attending painting classes under French symbolist, Eugène Carrière at the Académie Carriere (1898-1899). While at school, he befriended Henri Matisse, and in 1900, he met Maurice de Vlaminck, with whom he later shared a studio. The three often painted together, and were instrumental figures in each other’s artistic development.
