BIOGRAPHY
André Derain was born in 1880 in Chatou and died in 1954 in Garches. He was a French painter, sculptor, engraver and illustrator and is known as one of the founders of Fauvism.
Hailed as the pionneer of this new artistic movement, after World War I, he shifts to a more auster realism in which he expresses his love for theatre and literature - making him one of the most renowned figures of the interwar period.
