Manguin, a great Fauvist artist
GIVERNY – There are superstars among the Fauvist artists, such as and above all, Matisse. Then there is Derain, Vlaminck, and Dufy; followed by more modest ones such as Camoin, Puy, Valtat or Manguin. The exhibition, on Monet’s sector, allows visitors to rediscover the latter (1874-1949), who was very present at the Salon d’automne of 1905, in section VII and his famous « cage aux fauves », the expression art critic Louis Vauxcelles used to dub the movement. From his shared time in the workshop of Gustave Moreau with Matisse and Marquet to the discovery of Saint-Tropez in 1904, all the way to the links with Vollard or the collectors and spouses, the Hahnloser, this small retrospective turns out to e very complete on the years between 1900 and 1910, a true chromatic explosion that lines up nudes, landscapes, and still lives.
• Manguin, la volupté de la couleur at the musée des Impressionnismes, from 14 July to 5 November 2017.
