Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse chegou ao mundo em 31 de dezembro de 1869, em uma cabana de tecelão na rue du Chêne Arnaud. Henri Matisse matriculou-se na Académie Julian para iniciar este processo e, mais tarde, transferiu-se para a École Nationale des Beaux-Arts.

André Derain

Francês Born: Chatou ['Fauvismo', 'Novo Classicismo'] Wikipedia: 28/32 languages

André Derain

No ano de 1880, André Derain chegou ao mundo em Chatou, uma vila aninhada na região de Yvelines, na França. De setembro de 1901 até 1904, ele cumpriu seu serviço militar em Commercy, um período de separação que pausou seu florescente desenvolvimento artístico. O verão de 1905 trouxe uma mudança súbita e radiante para as vidas de André Derain e Henri Matisse.

Maurice de Vlaminck

Francês Born: Paris Pós-impressionismo Wikipedia: 26/32 languages

Maurice de Vlaminck

Alongside luminaries like André Derain and Henri Matisse, he spearheaded this audacious group—a collective determined to dismantle established conventions and liberate color from its subservience to realism. Following a visit to a Van Gogh exhibition, Vlaminck famously proclaimed his fervent appreciation for the artist's expressive fervor and stylistic innovation—a sentiment mirrored in Vlaminck’s own brushstrokes and emotional depth.

Georges Rouault

Francês Born: 19.º arrondissement de Paris Expressionismo, Fauvismo Wikipedia: 23/32 languages

Georges Rouault

Georges Rouault, nascido em Paris em 1871, no coração da turbulência da Comuna, viveu uma vida profundamente marcada por dificuldades e busca espiritual. Ao mesmo tempo, ele buscou treinamento formal na École des Beaux-Arts, onde se tornou um aluno dedicado de Gustave Moreau, cujos inclinações simbolistas nutrimentam ainda mais a inclinação de Rouault para temas emocionalmente carregados.

Albert Marquet

Francês Born: Bordéus Fauvismo, Naturalismo Wikipedia: 20/32 languages

Albert Marquet

Albert Marquet, nascido em Bordeaux em 1875, foi um pintor cuja jornada artística se desenrolou como uma evolução sutil, começando com a energia explosiva do Fauvismo e culminando em uma expressão naturalista profundamente pessoal. Ele expôs ao lado de Matisse, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck e outros no infame Salon d'Automne de 1905, onde críticos desdenhosamente os apelidaram de “les fauves” – as feras selvagens.

Louis Valtat

French Born: Dieppe Fauvism Wikipedia: 8/32 languages

Louis Valtat

His time studying under the Barbizon School painter Jules Dupré introduced him to a deeper, more tonal understanding of landscape, while his burgeoning friendships with artists like Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard —the celebrated " Nabis "—infused his work with a new sense of decorative pattern and symbolic depth. Even as he experimented with the optical precision of Pointillism and the decorative flatness of the Nabis, a sense of joyful immediacy remained the hallmark of his oeuvre.

Charles Camoin

French Born: Marseille Fauvist Expressionism Wikipedia: 9/32 languages

Charles Camoin

Born under the radiant, salt-kissed sun of Marseille in 1879, Charles Camoin’s early life was an immersion in the luminous textures of the Mediterranean landscape. Throughout his long and prolific career, which spanned until 1965, Camoin’s work remained deeply anchored in the landscapes of his youth.

Marguerite Zorach

Born: Santa Rosa Wikipedia: 8/32 languages

Marguerite Zorach

Nascida em Santa Rosa, Califórnia, em 1887, Marguerite Zorach emergiu de uma linhagem que mesclava as tradições marítimas da Nova Inglaterra com os valores quacres da Pensilvânia. Sua presença ativa em exposições modernistas, como a Société des Artistes Indépendants e o próprio Salon d'Automne, permitiu que ela circulasse entre gigantes da arte, conectando-se com figuras proeminentes como Pablo Picasso, Gertrude Stein e Henri Rousseau.
