He studied at the School of Fine Arts in Marseille and received in 1895 a first prize. From 1898, Camoin studied at the Fine Art School in Paris in Gustave Moreau's studio. There, he met Henri Matisse, Albert Marquet and Henri Manguin. After the death of Moreau, Camoin decided to study in the Camillo Academy. In the same time, he was copying the great masters at the Louvre Museum, including Delacroix, Rubens and Fragonard. He made his first landscapes and sketches of Paris in the 1900s. In 1902, Camoin met Paul Cézanne in Aix-en-Provence with whom he befriended. After his military service, Camoin returned to Paris in 1903 and joined the group of artists around Henri Matisse: Henri Manguin, Albert Marquet and Jean Puy. They exhibited together at Berthe Weill's gallery. He participated with them in the "Cage aux Fauves" of the Salon d'Automne of 1905. Since then affiliated with Fauvism, he quickly became successful, exhibiting regularly in Paris and European salons. In 1908, Camoin had his first private exhibition, at the gallery of the young merchant Daniel Henri Kahnweiler. He joined Matisse in Tangier where he spent the winter season in 1912. On his return from Tangiers, Camoin destroyed a large part of the paintings in his studio. After the First World War, Camoin shared his life between his studio in Montmartre and that of Saint-Tropez where he settled in 1921, claiming more and more his taste for a sensual, voluptuous and spontaneous painting, inspired by Renoir, whom he visited in 1918. Camoin remained all his life attached to his favorite themes: landscapes of the South, portraits of women, still lifes and nudes. Although Camoin favored expression in color in his work, he was still attached to the transcription of the motif and the light variations. He was, therefore, "the most impressionistic of the Fauvists", as Bernard Dorival wrote. Two major retrospective exhibitions were organized after his death: in Nice in 1971 and more recently at the Cantini Museum in Marseille in 1998.

Les Pensees De Pascal, Matisse
Les Pensees de Pascal, Henri Matisse, 1924, 2010.37, G371 Questions: 1. Look carefully and describe what you see. 2. How does Matisse’s love affair with color play out here? 3. Matisse sought to achieve simplicity and balance in his paintings. What could be aspects of simplicity and balance in this piece? 4. How does Matisse seem to play with the contrasts between interior and exterior spaces? What other contrasts come to mind? 5. Matisse famously said, “Art should be devoid of troubling or depressing matter...a soothing, calming inﬂuence on the mind, something like a good armchair that provides relaxation from fatigue.” How could this painting be considered therapeutic? Explain. Main Points 1. Matisse regarded simplicity, balance, and serenity as the supreme achievement and message of French art. 2. Matisse’s art is important for its abstraction, spirituality, and subjectivity. 3. He recognized the importance of still-lifes in his own development. He copied paintings by Chardin and de Heem (1893) early on and reinterpreted de Heem in 1915. 4. He was searching for “what I believed to be exceptional in myself with means (colors) richer than in linear drawing, with which I brought forth what moved me in nature, through the empathy I created between the objects that surrounded me, around which I revolved and into which I succeeded in pouring my feelings of tenderness without risking to suffer from doing so as in life.” 5. Objects were not symbols or metaphors, literary references, not even important for their function. 6. Many of Matisse’s paintings include a window, allowing for depiction of both the interior of a room and the view of the exterior.

In Turn-Of-The-Century Paris, an Explosion of Brash New Art
1 In Turn-of-the-Century Paris, An Explosion of Brash New Art Dubbed 'les Fauves' (the wild beasts) for their uninhibited use of color, these artists boldly rearranged the imagery of nature By Helen Dudar, Smithsonian, October, 1990 The scandal of the Parisian art world in 1905 was Room VII of the third annual Salon d'Automne in the Grand Palais, its walls throbbing with raw color. Color squeezed straight out of tubes; color assaulting the eye and senses; color that sometimes seemed to have been flung upon the canvas; color that dared to tint human flesh pea green and tree trunks a violent Andre Derain, The Turning Road, L’Estaque, 1906 red; color that not only refused to imitate nature but actually had been used to suggest form and depth. The signatures on the paintings bore the names of men some of whom, surviving notoriety, would soon be more or less famous. Henri Matisse, the oldest of them and the unlikely center of this radical new style, would flourish into his 85th year as one of the masters of our century. Andre Derain would, for a time, produce works of breathtaking originality and virtuosity. Albert Marquet and Henri Manguin, less than household names in our day, would be the best-sellers of the group because they turned out tamer work that was gentler to the untutored eye. Maurice de Vlaminck, a larger-than-life figure and a devout fabulist, would claim with some exaggeration that he was really the first to engage with the new style, and then, the first to abandon it.

Fresh to the Market Works Lead Christie's
PRESS RELEASE | N E W Y O R K | 22 APRIL 2013 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FRESH TO THE MARKET WORKS LEAD CHRISTIE’S IMPRESSIONIST & MODERN ART WORKS ON PAPER AND DAY SALES Henri Manguin, Etude inversée, Nu sous les arbres, Villa Demière, oil on canvas, Estimate: $400,000-600,000 New York - Christie’s will present its Impressionist & Modern Art Works on Paper Sale and Day Sale on May 9 in New York. The sales are comprised of paintings, drawings, sculptures and works on paper from the leading Impressionist and Modern masters such as Alberto Giacometti, Paul Klee, Joan Miró, Henry Moore, Pablo Picasso, Egon Schiele and many more. Fresh to the market works from distinguished collections are offered throughout the two sales including highlights from the collections of Andy Williams, Mona Ackerman and an Important Private European Collection. Both sales will offer bidders the perfect opportunity to enter the market, or further strengthen their own collections. ORKS ON PAPER Executed in 1970, Femme is a large-scale and fully worked W composition executed when Joan Miró (1893-1983) was utilizing the joint influences of Abstract Expressionist American art and Japanese calligraphy in his own uniquely poetic, instinctive and gestural style of painting (pictured right; estimate: $400,000-600,000). Femme demonstrates how under these influences, Miró’s forms became more expansive while the poetic nature and integrity of Miró's pictorial vocabulary remained essentially the same. This bold work depicts the iconic figure of a woman rendered using smooth flowing calligraphic lines while the palette, reduced to the essentials of red, yellow, green and blue, augmented by black and white, reflects the reductive color vocabulary Miró had used since the 1940s.

What Is Fauvism? Fauvism Was an Art Style That Lasted Only Four Years, Beginning in 1905
F I N E A R T S What is Fauvism? Fauvism was an art style that lasted only four years, beginning in 1905. Fauvism was a movement in French painting that revolutionized the concept of color in modern art. The word Fauvism is french for "wild beasts". It got this name because the paintings had bright and unusual colors. The subjects in the paintings were shown in a simple way, and the colors and patterns were bright and wild. The leader of this movement was Henri Matisse. At the end of the nineteenth century, Neo Impressionist painters were already using pure colors, but they applied those colors to their canvases in small strokes. The fauves rejected the impressionist palette of soft, shimmering tones in favor of radical new style, full of violent color and bold distortions. These painters never formed a movement in the strict sense of the word, but for years they would nurse a shared ambition, before each went his separate and more personal way.

An Umbrella on a Balcony Oil on Panel
Pierre Bonnard (Fontenay-aux-Roses 1867 - Le Cannet 1947) An Umbrella on a Balcony Oil on panel. Signed Bonnard at the lower right. 217 x 124 mm. (8 1/2 x 4 7/8 in.) This oil sketch, which would appear to depict a Mediterranean landscape, has been dated to c.1904. That year Pierre Bonnard made his first visit to the South of France. Together with Edouard Vuillard, he visited their fellow Nabis Ker-Xavier Roussel in Saint-Tropez, and also met Louis Valtat and Paul Signac. Captivated by the light and vegetation of the Midi, Bonnard returned to Saint-Tropez for a longer stay in the summer of 1909 as the guest of Henri Manguin. From then on he was to spend a large part of his career in the South, painting yearly on the Côte d’Azur; in Saint-Tropez, Antibes, Grasse and at Le Cannet, in the hills above Cannes, where he purchased a villa in 1925. This small, charming composition is typical of Bonnard’s approach to painting after the turn of the century, when the artists of the Nabis group had begun to go their separate ways. Rejecting the radical approach to colour and method advocated by the Fauve and Cubist artists who made up the Parisian avant-garde in the early 20th century, Bonnard began to paint landscapes and interiors in what was ostensibly a more Impressionist manner. As has been noted of the artist, ‘Bonnard has often been classed as some kind of belated Impressionist. Certainly between 1900 and 1914 he came to adopt many of the hallmarks – the white ground, the broken and visible brush mark, and even the open-air subject matter – which had characterized Impressionism in its heyday...For Bonnard, Impressionism was a new starting point: ‘When my friends and I decided to pick up the research of the Impressionists, and attempt to take it further, we wanted to outshine them in their naturalistic impressions of colour.

Fauvism Was the First Twentieth Century Movement in Modern Art
QUICK VIEW: Synopsis Fauvism was the first twentieth century movement in modern art. Inspired by the examples of van Gogh, Gauguin, and Neo-Impressionists such as Seurat and Signac, it grew out of a loosely allied group of French painters with shared interests. Henri Matisse was eventually recognized as the leader of Les Fauves, or The Wild Beasts as they were called in French, and like the group, he emphasized the use of intense color as a vehicle for describing light and space, but also for communicating emotion. The style proved to be an important precursor to Expressionism, and an inspiration for other, painterly modes of abstraction. Key Points • Fauvism never developed into a coherent movement in the manner of Impressionism or Surrealism, but instead grew from the work of several acquaintances who shared common enthusiasms. Many, such as Matisse, Marquet, and Rouault, had been pupils of the Symbolist Gustave Moreau, and admired his stress on personal expression. • The Fauves generally rejected the fantastic imagery of the Post-Impressionists, and returned to the more traditional subjects once favored by the Impressionists, such as landscapes, cityscapes, and scenes of bourgeois leisure. • Rather than extend the quasi-scientific investigations of artists such as Seurat and Signac, Fauves such as Matisse and Derain were inspired by them to employ pattern and contrasting colors for the purposes of expression. • The Fauves became renowned for using pure and unmixed colors which they intensified further by applying thick daubs and smears. • Although the Fauves were not well-versed in academic color theory, they sought out © The Art Story Foundation – All rights Reserved For more movements, artists and ideas on Modern Art visit www.TheArtStory.org unique and unnatural color combinations in their paintings with the purpose of evoking a variety of emotional responses; in that sense, color was used arbitrarily and was subject to the painter's own emotional response to the canvas.

It is the century that witnessed the greatest expression of the Academic tradition and it is the era that launched modernism through the developments of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. * * * * * * * * * * * * Academic: Realism. It is best defined as an artist’s mastery of a variety of painting techniques, including the depiction of atmosphere and natural light, intended to produce a picture that mimicked reality. This style reached its height in the latter part of the 19th century. Major artists of this period include: William Bouguereau, Jean-Léon Gérome, Alexandre Cabanel, Briton Riviere, and Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Modern: Impressionism and Post-Impressionism; the commencement of modern painting. This period is the beginning of experimentation with form, color, brushwork, and subject matter leading to modern art. These artists experimented with depicting the effects of light and using expressive color and brushwork to portray both figures and landscapes. Founding members include: Claude Monet, Eugène Boudin, Camille Pissarro, Pierre Auguste Renoir, and Albert Guillaumin—and their contemporaries—Edmond Petitjean, Henri Lebasque, Henri Martin, and Georges d’Espagnat. These artitsts produced works which continue to be most favored for their market value and aesthetic merit. 2 (at The Ritz-Carlton) Welcome to Guarisco Gallery Guarisco Gallery is a leading international gallery founded in 1980 specializing in museum quality 19th - and early 20th - century paintings and sculpture.
