About the Publication:
Fauves, VII (Fauves, VII), published in 1972 by Fernand Mourlot, Paris, is the seventh folio in the landmark series devoted to the Pierre Levy collection, one of the most important private holdings of twentieth century French art. Conceived as both a scholarly document and a visual compendium, the series aimed to preserve and disseminate key works from the Fauvist and early modernist movements through masterfully executed lithographic interpretations. Created in collaboration with Mourlot Freres—the preeminent lithographic workshop in France—the folio reflects the atelier’s commitment to capturing the tonal structure, chromatic vitality, and expressive dynamism of modern French painting. Issued in a single edition on Arches velin, the publication remains an essential contribution to the study and preservation of modernism, illuminating the continued cultural significance of these works and the pivotal role of Pierre Levy’s collection in shaping their legacy.
About the Artist:
Kees van Dongen (1877–1968) was a pioneering Dutch-born French painter, printmaker, and illustrator whose vivid color, daring brushwork, and sensuous portrayals of modern life established him as one of the defining figures of early twentieth-century art. Born Cornelis Theodorus Maria van Dongen in Delfshaven, near Rotterdam, he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts before relocating to Paris in 1897, where he immersed himself in the bohemian milieu of Montmartre. There, he exhibited alongside avant-garde contemporaries in the Salon d’Automne and the Salon des Independants, where his use of raw, expressive color aligned him with the Fauvist movement led by Henri Matisse and Andre Derain. Van Dongen quickly distinguished himself within this revolutionary circle for his seductive, emotionally charged portraits of women—actresses, dancers, and high-society figures—that embodied both the vitality and sophistication of modern life. Drawing inspiration from the intensity of Vincent van Gogh, the structural innovations of Paul Cezanne, and the psychological power of Edvard Munch, he developed a unique style that merged expressive colorism with cosmopolitan elegance. Throughout his career, van Dongen maintained close relationships with many of the most important artists of his time, including Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—each of whom, in their own way, redefined the boundaries of modern art alongside him. His Fauvist paintings shocked audiences with their vibrant hues, emotional intensity, and unapologetic sensuality. His bold compositions, dominated by electric reds, cobalt blues, and viridian greens, captured the glamour and volatility of the modern woman—both muse and icon of a changing world. His female subjects, with their elongated limbs, almond-shaped eyes, and vibrant attire, embodied sensuality and independence, challenging conventional notions of femininity. As his fame grew, he became the portraitist of choice for Paris’s elite, capturing the sophistication and allure of the interwar years through portraits of aristocrats, socialites, and cultural icons. Van Dongen’s style evolved beyond Fauvism, incorporating elements of Cubism and Art Deco while retaining his expressive mastery of color and line. His technical skill extended to printmaking and illustration, collaborating with ateliers such as Mourlot Freres and contributing satirical works to publications like Le Rire and Gil Blas Illustre, where his wit and keen eye for modern life flourished. His later works, characterized by harmonious tonal contrasts and elegant simplicity, embodied both sensuality and restraint, blending passion with sophistication. His influence resonated across generations, inspiring artists like David Hockney, Alex Katz, and Peter Doig, as well as fashion designers Yves Saint Laurent and Christian Dior, who admired his celebration of modern femininity. Van Dongen’s art, housed in major institutions including the Centre Pompidou, Musee d’Orsay, Tate Modern, Museum of Modern Art in New York, and Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, remains synonymous with the sensual vibrancy of modernism. Standing alongside Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, he occupies a singular position as a master of expressive color and psychological allure. The highest auction record for Kees van Dongen was achieved by Jeune Arabe (Young Arab), which sold for 13802500 USD at Christie’s, New York, on November 8, 2010, affirming his enduring influence and stature as one of the most collectible and iconic painters of the modern era.
