Henri Matisse 1869–1954

Francozec Born in Le Cateau-Cambrésis Fauvizem, Postimpresionizem, Kubizem Wikipedia in 32/32 languages

Henri Matisse se je rodil 31. decembra 1869 v tkalniški koči na ulici rue du Chêne Arnaud. Ta majhna hiša v Le Cateau-Cambrésis v Franciji je bila izhodišče za življenje, ki se bo kasneje odmaknilo daleč od miru departmana Nord. Ta proces je začel z zapisom na Académie Julian, kasneje pa se je presel na École Nationale des Beaux-Arts.

André Derain 1880–1954

Francoz Born in Chatou ['Fauvizem', 'Novi klasicizem'] Wikipedia in 28/32 languages

Leta 1880 se je v Chatouju, voču v regiji Yvelines v Franciji, rodil André Derain. Od septembra 1901 do leta 1904 je opravljal vojno službo v Commercy, obdobje razdalje, ki je začasno zamaknilo njegov razvijajoč se umetniški razvoj. Poletje leta 1905 je prineslo nenadno, svetlobno spremembo v življenja, ki sta jih oblikirala André Derain in Henri Matisse.

Maurice De Vlaminck 1876–1958

Born in Pariz Wikipedia in 26/32 languages

Maurice de Vlaminck se je rodil v Parizu flamskemu očetu, ki je poučeval violino, in materi iz Lorene, ki je poučevala klavir. Vlaminck velja za ključno figuro v gibanju Fovizem (1904-1908), ki ga zaznamuje intenzivna uporaba barve in poenostavljene oblike. Skupaj z Andréjem Derainom in Henrijem Matissom je bil del te revolucionarne skupine, ki je izzivala tradicionalne umetniške konvencije.

Raoul Dufy 1877–1953

Born in Le Havre Wikipedia in 27/32 languages

Raoul Dufy, rojen v pristanišču Le Havre na Normandiji leta 1877, je bil umetnik, katerega ime je postalo sinonim za veselje, živahnost in izrazito francosko joie de vivre. Večerni tečaji na École des Beaux-Arts v Le Havru so prižgali strast, ki bi definirala njegovo življenje, in sklenili prijateljstva s kolegi Raimondom Lecourtom in Othonom Frieszom – sopotniki, ki so si delili studio v Montmartru in zavezo raziskovati nove vizualne jezike.

Georges Rouault 1871–1958

Francoz Born in 19. pariško okrožje Ekspresionizem, Fauvizem Wikipedia in 23/32 languages

Georges Rouault, rojen v Parizu leta 1871 sredi burnih časov Pariške komune, je živel življenje globoko vklesano z revščino in duhovnim iskanjem. Hkrati se je posvetil formalnemu usposabljanju na École des Beaux-Arts, kjer je postal predan učenec Gustava Moreaua, katerega simbolistični nagib je dodatno spodbudil Rouaultovo nagnjenje k čustveno nabitim temam.

Albert Marquet 1875–1947

Born in Bordeaux Wikipedia in 20/32 languages

Albert Marquet, rojen leta 1875 v Bordeauxu, je bil umetnik subtilne evolucije, ki se je začela z eksplozivno energijo fauvizma in se končala s globoko osebno obliko naturalističnega izražanja. Njegovo zgodnje življenje je doživelo ključni prelom pri petnajstih letih, ko se je preselil v Pariz in se vpisal na École des Arts Décoratifs.

Kees Van Dongen 1877–1968

Nizozemski Born in Rotterdam Fovizem Wikipedia in 26/32 languages

Kees van Dongen, rojen Cornelis Theodorus Maria van Dongen leta 1877, ostaja eden najelektrizirajočih glasov zgodnjega dvajsetega stoletja. Po tem, ko je iz sogutih, tonalnih tradicij Haagske šole v svojem rodnem Rotterdamu stopil v svet, je ob prihodu v Pariz leta 1ming 97 doživel radikalno metamorfozo. Ob odklonu od utišanih pejzažev, ki so odmevali pod Rembrandhtovim vplivom, se je van Dongen neustavljivo privlačen k neonskim utripom Montmartra.

Georgette Agutte 1867–1922

Francoska Born in Calais Fauvist, slikar, kipar Wikipedia in 10/32 languages

Georgette Agutte (1867–1922) predstavlja gančljivo primer tega zgodovinskega zanemarjanja. Njeni pejzaži, kot je „Le Château Antique“ (1903), so prepojeni z občutkom sanjskega intenziteta, oblike pa so predstavljene v preproščenih oblikah na dinamičnem, vrtoglavem ozadju barv. Bila je tudi izjemno veža skulptorka, ki je ustvarjala prigrizljive bronaste figure, kot je „Portret Julesa Guesde“ (1925), ki je služil kot homage socialističnemu politikovi, ki je postal njen mož.

Louis Valtat 1869–1952

French Born in Dieppe Fauvism Wikipedia in 8/32 languages

Under the guidance of masters such as Gustave Boulanger and Jules Lefebvre, he mastered the disciplined foundations of academic painting, yet his spirit yearned for something more liberated. Even as he experimented with the optical precision of Pointillism and the decorative flatness of the Nabis, a sense of joyful immediacy remained the hallmark of his oeuvre.

Charles Camoin 1879–1965

French Born in Marseille Fauvist Expressionism Wikipedia in 9/32 languages

While his initial artistic sensibilities were nurtured by the soft, atmospheric nuances of Impressionism —drawing inspiration from the delicate touch of Monet and Sisley—Camoin possessed an underlying restlessness that sought something far more visceral. It was within these hallowed halls that a fateful encounter occurred: the meeting with Henri Matisse. Throughout his long and prolific career, which spanned until 1965, Camoin’s work remained deeply anchored in the landscapes of his youth.

Marguerite Zorach 1887–1968

Born in Santa Rosa Wikipedia in 8/32 languages

A lengthy world tour with her aunt from 1911-1912 took her to Jerusalem, Egypt, India, Burma, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Hawaii. Upon returning to California, she painted the Sierra Nevada mountains but faced disapproval from her parents, resulting in the destruction of much of her early work. Despite being initially rejected from the École des Beaux-Arts, she studied at the Académie de la Palette under John Duncan Fergusson and Jacques-Emile Blanche, fostering her unique style.

Robert Bevan 1865–1925

Britanec Born in Hove Fovizem, divisionizem Wikipedia in 7/32 languages

Kot nekdo, ki je prišel iz kvakerskega okolja, tesno povezanega s svetom bančništva – njegovi starši sta bila Richard Alexander Bevan in Laura Maria Polhill – je uprl na konvencionalna pričakovanja in postal drzen inovator ter ključna figura v prehodu z impresionizma k bolj radikalnim raziskavam barve in forme.

Pjotr Končalovski 1876–1956

Rus Born in Slovjansk Fauvizem, Cézannizem, Socialistični realizem Wikipedia in 9/32 languages

Pyotr Petrovich Končalovski, rojen februarja 1876 v Slavyansku blizu Harkova, je bil mnogo več kot le slikar; bil je vizualni kronist Rusije, ki se je soočala z globokimi spremembami. Njegov oče, Petr Petrovich Končalovski, cenjen prevajalec in založnik umetnosti, je imel v Moskvi dom, ki je postal živahno središče, kjer so se srečevali vodilni ruski umetniki tiste dobe – Valentin Serov, Mihail Vrubel, Vasilij Surikov.

Auguste Chabaud 1882–1955

Ameriški Born in Nîmes Realizem, Modernizem Wikipedia in 5/32 languages

Edward Hopper (22. julija 1882 – 15. maja 1967) ostaja ena najbolj trajne in enigmatičnih postav v ameriški umetnosti. Rodil se je v Nyaku v New Yorku v udobni srednji družini, Hopperjeva umetniška pot se je začela z podporno vzgojo, ki je spodbudila njegov zgodnji interes za risanje in slikanje.
