Still Life with Dead Game 1928

"Still Life with Dead Game" is a 1928 painting by André Derain, a prominent figure in the Fauvist movement. The painting depicts a still life arrangement of a hunting scene with a dead bird, a pheasant, and hunting gear on a tablecloth. Derain's signature bold colors and expressive brushstrokes, characteristic of Fauvism, are evident in this work. While the subject matter may appear traditional, Derain's treatment of the objects with thick, layered brushstrokes and vivid hues gives it a modern twist.
