View of Collioure 1905

"View of Collioure" (1905), by André Derain, exemplifies the artist's Fauvist style. This vibrant landscape depicts the town of Collioure, France, with bold brushstrokes and exaggerated color. The artist's use of vivid hues, particularly in the depiction of the Mediterranean Sea, creates a sense of energy and movement. The landscape is simplified, with the focus on color and form rather than realistic detail. This painting is a testament to Derain's exploration of color as a tool for expressing emotion and capturing the essence of a scene.
