André Derain was born in 1880 into a family in the Dairy trade, who did not opppose his artist's vocation. Aged 15 he painted his first pictures and then enrolled at the Academie Carriere, where he met Matisse and Vlaminck whose studio he shared. In 1904, Matisse put them in touch with the art-dealer Ambroise Vollard, who bought up the contents of their studio. Derain showed at the 1905 Salon d'Automne in Paris with Vlaminck and Matisse ; the art critic Louis Vauxcelles declared their work to be "fauves" (literally, a wild beast).
Derain then split with Vlaminck, following Vollard's advice, he went to London where he painted his famous views of Hyde Park and of the river Thames. He next illustrated his friend Apollinaire's "L'enchanteur Pourrissant" with a set of woodcuts, the works being published by Kahnweiller in 1909. After the 14 - 18 war during which he was called up, Derain's painting became more conventional, consisting mainly of portraits, nudes, landscapes. An auspicious period dawned, his new dealer Paul Guillaume making a famous artist of him.
In the twenties, Derain showed in Paris, Munich and New York. Another side to his work was the design of stage-costumes and scenery ; Derain produced numerous prints, lithographs or etchings ; besides the woodcuts for Apollinaire, he illustrated the "Satyricon" with 33 etchings ; "Décervelages" with 8 etchings and aquatints, Max Jacob's "Le siège de Jerusalem, Grande Tentation Céleste de Saint Matorel", illustrated in 1914 with 3 dry-points, etc. The artist died in 1954.

(b Chatou, nr Paris, 17 June 1880; d Garches, 8 Sept 1954). French painter, sculptor, illustrator, stage designer and collector. He was a leading exponent of FAUVISM. In early 1908 he destroyed most of his work to concentrate on tightly constructed landscape paintings, which were a subtle investigation of the work of Cézanne. After World War I his work became more classical, influenced by the work of such artists as Camille Corot. In his sculpture he drew upon his knowledge and collection of non-Western art.

Derain, André (1880-1954), French painter, who was a leader in several avant-garde art movements of the early 20th century. Born in Chatou, near Paris, he abandoned his early engineering studies to pursue an artistic career. In 1905, along with Maurice de Vlaminck and Henri Matisse, he became a member of the Fauves (“wild beasts”), so named because the bold and unrealistic colours that they used appeared savage at the time (See Fauvism). Most of Derain's works of this period were landscapes and cityscapes, such as London Bridge (1906, Museum of Modern Art, New York). They show the typical Fauvist characteristics of pure colour (often squeezed onto the canvas directly from the tube), choppy brushstrokes, frenzied composition, and lack of concern for perspective or realistic depiction.
After 1908, Derain began to experiment with other styles. The influence of Paul Cézanne led him to prefer quieter colours and more controlled compositions. His great Bathers (1908, location unknown) represented an attempt to combine the innovations of previous painters, such as Claude Monet and Cézanne, in a single all-encompassing synthesis. In 1910, Derain produced highly geometric, Cubist-influenced works such as The Old Bridge at Cagnes (National Gallery, Washington, D.C.). His late work, after 1912, showed the influence of many styles—including classical French art and African sculpture—and tended to become increasingly traditional and derivative, characterized by muted colour and fussily elaborated technique. Derain also designed woodcut book illustrations and, in 1919, he designed stage sets for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes.
