Description
Summary:	After his participation in the 1905 Salon d'Automne in Paris, Maurice de Vlamnick (1876-1958) emerged as one of the leading representatives of the French avant-garde. More than any other member of the Fauves, he identified with the attribute of wildness and early on propagated the image of a modern art rebel. His primary source of inspiration was the oeuvre of Vincent van Gogh, whose intensely colored works he had encountered in 1901 in a major solo exhibition at Galerie Bernheim-Jeune in Paris. Van Gogh's training as an autodidact, as well as the burgeoning myth of his unrecognized artistic genius, strengthened this identification, which would also be determinative for Vlamnick's later self-image. With over eighty selected works, this richly illustrated catalog offers a well-grounded overview of Vlamnick's painterly oeuvre: from his first compositions in the early twentieth century, to his experiments with Cubism inspired by Cézanne and Picasso, to his final landscape paintings, in which he developed an individual version of late Impressionism.
