Vlaminck, Maurice de
A French painter, one of the founders of Fauvism, famous for his vibrant colors and spontaneous, Expressionist style.
Short Biography
Maurice de Vlaminck was born on April 4, 1876, in Paris, France. Along with André Derain, he was one of the co-founders of **Fauvism** (1905), the first major Avant-Garde movement of the 20th century. His early work was characterized by the radical, unmixed use of color that reflected the emotional state of the artist. After the Fauvist period, he turned to a more structured, yet still **Expressionist**, style with darker colors, seeking inspiration from Van Gogh and Cézanne. His role in Fauvism was crucial to the Avant-Garde in its revolt against traditional painting.
Connection to the Book World
De Vlaminck was a prolific **graphic artist**, creating etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts for numerous **'livres d'artiste'**. His graphic work, with its dramatic lines and dark tones, often illustrated literary texts, thus making an important contribution to the **Expressionist** branch of the modern illustrated book.
