The timeless beauty of Old Masters and Modern Art, brought to you by {name}

Giulia Santoro

A masterpiece; a distinctive drawing realized by the Fauvist master André Derain (1880-1954).

Title of the work : " Perroquet sur sa branche ".

The pencil drawing on paper depicts a parrot drawn by the artist in a pre-Cubist style, executed between 1920 and 1930. 

Derain's studio stamp is on the lower left. 


Provenance :

- Private collection Aimé Barelli ;

- Private Italian collection. 


This is a highly distinctive and unusual drawing by the artist, in which Derain recalls the pre-Cubist style of Pablo Picasso. 

With this drawing, the artist invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty and dynamism that comes from looking at the drawing, the skill of using geometric shapes to draw the parrot. 

The parrot is drawn on the (recto), while the (verso) features a palace and a study of floral figures (perhaps for a theater backdrop or for the ceramics the artist himself made).

Derain was one of the greatest exponents of Fauvism, together with Henri Matisse (his friend and collaborator in art exhibitions), other painters such as Charles Camois and Louis Valtat.

Also Derain had friends like Maurice Utrillo, Suzanne Valadon and in 1899 he met Maurice de Vlaminck.

In 1905 he exhibited his paintings at the Salon d'Automne and at the Salon des Indépendants, which gave the name to this artistic movement (Fauve), due to the vivid, bright and bold colors with refined tones expressed on his works on canvas or paper.

There was a period when he was influenced by Paul Gauguin's way of painting, his colors thus became less vivid and in 1910 he went to paint with Pablo Picasso, he did not adhere to the daring techniques of Cubism.

Derain's style is strongly influenced, at the beginning of the twentieth century, by Neo-Impressionism, in particular by the works of Paul Cézanne and Vincent van Gogh.

Compared to the other Fauvist painters, Matisse and Vlaminck, Derain is more measured, brighter, more serene.

His vast production is often characterized by a naturalism that combines elements typical of Caravaggio.
