Artist who pushed colour to maximum on show in Paris

Vlaminck a Fauvist Instinct- February 20 - July 20 2008
|
|
Maurice de Vlaminck, the rebel artist who helped push painting to its outer limits in the early 20th century, is on exhibition at the museum on the grounds of the French Senate, the first showing of his works in Paris in 52 years.
Vlaminck was among the founders of the period known as ``Fauve,'' literally ``wild beast.'' It is an apt moniker for a physically imposing, self-taught artist who defied painterly rules of the day with extravagant colors, unbridled energy and an unstudied spontaneity.
