Maurice Prendergast | Along the Seine, 1892

Maurice Prendergast (1858-1924) was one of the first American painters to adopt a post-impressionist style.
His distinctive paintings utilize a pattern of flat, short brushstrokes and bold outlines to create brightly colored scenes of outdoor leisure.
Prendergast was born in St. John's, Newfoundland, in 1858.
In 1868 the family moved to Boston, the hometown of Prendergast’s mother, where the artist attended school through the eighth grade.
Prendergast first worked in a dry goods store and then began earning a living creating show cards—hand-lettered advertisements for store windows.

Henri Matisse (1869-1954)

Henri Émile Benoît Matisse è uno dei più noti artisti del ventesimo secolo, conosciuto principalmente per essere l'esponente di maggior spicco della corrente artistica dei Fauves.
La sua prima esposizione avvenne nel 1904, senza grande successo.
Nel 1905 si trasferì nel sud della Francia, per lavorare con André Derain 1880-1954, esperienza durante la quale si accentuò la sua tendenza ad enfatizzare fortemente il colore.
I dipinti di questo periodo sono caratterizzati da forme appiattite e linee controllate, con l'espressione che domina sui dettagli.

André Derain (French, 1880-1954)


André Derain was a French painter, sculptor and co-founder of Fauvism with Henri Matisse 1869-1954. Derain and Matisse worked together through the summer of 1905 in the Mediterranean village of Collioure and later that year displayed their highly innovative paintings at the Salon d'Automne.
The vivid, unnatural colors led the critic Louis Vauxcelles to derisively dub their works as les Fauves, or "the wild beasts", marking the start of the Fauve movement.
