“We were always intoxicated with colour, with words that speak of colour, and with the sun that makes colours live’.
André Derain
During the winter months of 1904–1905, Derain and Vlaminck shared an atelier and together they painted the surrounding countryside, inspired by the location’s natural beauty. Describing their early days working together, Vlaminck has written: ‘Each of us set up his easel, Derain facing Chatou, with the bridge and steeple in front of him, myself to one side, attracted by the poplars. Naturally I finished first. I walked over to Derain holding my canvas against my legs so that he couldn’t see it. I looked at his picture. Solid, skillful, powerful, already a Derain. ‘What about yours?’ he said. I spun my canvas around. Derain looked at it in silence for a minute, nodded his head, and declared, ‘Very fine.’ That was the starting point of all Fauvism’.
Vlaminck quoted in, Judi Freeman, The Fauve Landscape exhibition catalogue, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1990, p. 15.
