Still life 1914

Andre Derain's "Still Life" from 1914 is a vibrant example of Fauvist art, characterized by bold colors and expressive brushstrokes. The composition features a collection of objects on a table, including a blue pitcher, a green vase, a book, a pipe, and an artist's palette. Derain's use of color is particularly striking, with deep blues and greens contrasted with warm oranges and browns, creating a dynamic and expressive composition that showcases his artistic mastery of color and form. The painting reflects a shift in artistic style towards simplification and bold expression, a movement that heavily influenced the development of modern art.
