| Summary: | MATISSE & DERAIN: COLLIOURE 1905 celebrates the centenary of Fauvism. Caught up in the light of the South of France and no longer wanting to endure the constraints of any theory, Matisse arrived in Collioure on the 16th May 1905. Soon, the young Derain came and joined him for an artistic adventure that has no equal in the history of painting and will permanently leave its mark on the century. Their collaboration explored groundbreaking themes such as translating exacerbated feelings into colors, using color as a key element of a painting structure and distancing the artist from its subject. A few brilliant masterpieces were born from these few weeks of intense creation.
