Maurice de Vlaminck

Maurice de Vlaminck was a prominent French painter and a leading figure in the Fauvist movement. Known for his bold use of color and expressive brushwork, Vlaminck's early works are characterised by their vibrant, non-naturalistic palettes and dynamic compositions. Influenced by Vincent van Gogh and his Fauvist contemporaries, he captured landscapes and still lifes with an emotional intensity that broke from traditional conventions. In his later years, Vlaminck's style evolved towards a more subdued, somber tone, reflecting a shift towards realism.
