Description:
Private collection on long term loan. After his Fauve period, Vlaminck remained consistently hostile to the most avant-garde movement in contemporary French art, Cubism, in spite of the fact that its roots were also in the work of Cézanne. Instead he developed a more naturalistic treatment of landscape, retaining his vigorous style (a kind of proto-Expressionism) but using more austere colors. Ambroise Vollard, who bought all the paintings in Vlaminck’s studio in 1906 and organized his first exhibition the following year, had the idea of sending him to England in 1911.
