Maurice de Vlaminck Mixed Media
French, 1876-1958
Maurice de Vlaminck was a French painter, best known as one of the spearheads of the Fauvism movement at the start of the 20th century. His reputation rests predominantly on his landscapes, though he also produced still lifes and portraits.
Born in Paris in 1876, Vlaminck had relatively little artistic training and, as a young man, dreamt of becoming a professional cyclist. A chance encounter in 1900, however, when he was nearing the end of his national service in the army, proved fateful.
It was with the budding artist, André Derain, whom he met when a train they were aboard derailed. The pair lived in the small town of Chatou, a few miles along the River Seine from Paris, and they chose to complete their homeward journey from the French capital that day on foot. They struck up a friendship, and before long were sharing a studio.
Derain and Vlaminck would become, alongside Henri Matisse, the driving forces behind Fauvism, the first avant-garde art movement of the 20th century. Partly inspired by the recent innovations of Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh, it was characterised by aggressive brushwork, simplified forms and intense non-naturalistic colours. Its name came from the reaction of a critic in 1905 who compared the artists to fauves (‘wild beasts’).
Vlaminck enjoyed painting in primary colours, and is particularly associated with scenes set in and around Chatou. Standout examples include Restaurant de la Machine à Bougival (1905) (today found in the Musée d'Orsay) and The Seine at Chatou (1906) (found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York). The poet Guillaume Apollinaire hailed Vlaminck as ‘the wildest of the Fauves’.
In the years immediately before the outbreak of World War I, the artist’s style shifted. His palette grew slightly more sombre, and there was a greater emphasis on solidity and a landscape's underlying structure. This revealed the influence of Paul Cezanne — the subject of a ground-breaking, posthumous retrospective in Paris in 1907.
Vlaminck worked in a munitions factory during the war. His paintings after it were much darker and more realistic than those with which he had made his name. He died in 1958, aged 82.to

Dali - the Prodigy Child without an Exam.
Salvador Dali was born as the son of a prestigious notary in the small town of Figueras in Northern Spain. His talent as an artist showed at an early age and Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali received his first drawing lessons when he was ten years old. His art teachers were a then well known Spanish impressionist painter, Ramon Pichot and later an art professor at the Municipal Drawing School. In 1923 his father bought his son his first printing press.
Dali began to study art at the Royal Academy of Art in Madrid. He was expelled twice and never took the final examinations. His opinion was that he was more qualified than those who should have examined him.
In 1928 Dali went to Paris where he met the Spanish painters Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro. He established himself as the principal figure of a group of surrealist artists grouped around Andre Breton, who was something like the theoretical "schoolmaster" of surrealism. Years later Breton turned away from Dali accusing him of support of fascism, excessive self-presentation and financial greediness.
By 1929 Dali had found his personal style that should make him famous the world of the unconscious that is recalled during our dreams. The surrealist theory is based on the theories of the psychologist Dr. Sigmund Freud. Recurring images of burning giraffes and melting watches became the artist's surrealist trademarks. His great craftsmanship allowed him to execute his paintings in a nearly photo-realistic style. No wonder that the artist was a great admirer of the Italian Renaissance painter Raphael.
Salvador Dali and Gala.
Meeting Gala was the most important event in the artist's life and decisive for his future career. She was a Russian immigrant and ten years older than Dali. When he met her, she was married to Paul Eluard.
Gala decided to stay with Dali. She became his companion, his muse, his sexual partner, his model in numerous art works and his business manager. For him she was everything. Most of all Gala was a stabilizing factor in his life. And she managed his success in the 1930s with exhibitions in Europe and the United States.
Gala was legally divorced from her husband in 1932. In 1934 Dali and Gala were married in a civil ceremony...
