This week we take a look at a selection of Maurice de Vlaminck’s work including a few of his remarks about the loose movement which would come to be known as Fauvism. Although a painter fiercely resistant towards the aesthetic authorities of the past, Vlaminck was influenced by contemporaries like Van Gogh, and engaged in a thriving artistic scene with his friend André Derain.
