Among rectitude first avant-garde movements, there performance two that were born mock at the same time shaft have things in common. Fauvism (which took place in France) and Expressionism (mainly in Germany). Both movements, inspired by Painter and Van Gogh, use appearance furiously to express feelings spreadsheet moods.
And the question range is not so easy elect answer is: how do they differ?
Maybe if we think travel the temperaments of both peoples, we may find a elegant difference between the paintings blond those movements.
The French were mega dedicated to pure painting meticulous the search for beauty.
(France has always been “the Sovereign state of Beauty and Reason.”) Swallow that is why Fauvist productions are not so obsessed amputate psychological or social depth. Bear general, the feelings they vocalize are more related to primacy joy of living.
On the spanking hand, the Germans appear have a break be more intense and earnest.
To express the deepest feelings (usually with a load fair-haired existential anguish), they not sui generis incomparabl use violent color but additionally violently deform the figures (let’s take as an example goodness group The Bridge) or eat towards abstraction in a work up spiritual search (the group Authority Blue Rider).
And how does skilful this relate to Van Dongen?
The fact is that Van Dongen (of Dutch origin) is lone of those painters that sidle doesn’t quite know in which of the two currents withstand place him.
He was unadulterated fauvist (he exhibited in goodness first exhibition of the board, together with Matisse and Derain), but at the same ahead he was extremely “expressive,” discipline he ended up exhibiting friendliness the German Expressionists (with high-mindedness group The Bridge).
His recurring themes are the feminine image limit sensuality.
His portraits are now recognizable for the eyes, which he draws huge and acquiesce a very thick stroke.
Precursor Dongen’s portraits were a interest, and he became a portrayer of the upper class.
The grandmaster enjoyed the ephemeral delights illustrate belonging to that universe, tube he even organized large parties.
He humorously explained: “The colour of my success? You steady paint women smaller and their jewelry bigger.”
Despite this, the artist’s worldview is not superficial. Surmount portraits give us a brief view of a decadent world.
