The Fauve Landscape

by Judi Freeman, James Herbert, John Klein

This text is devoted to the colourful landscapes produced during the Fauvist period of 1904-1908. An essay on the emergence of the Fauve landscape is followed by four essays devoted to individual sites and such topics as Fauvism's impact on tourism and politics. Another essay concentrates on the critical landscape, in essence the critics' reception of these paintings. Matisse, Braque, Derain, Vlaminck, Dufy, Marquet, Manguin and Friesz are represented with examples of their works.

This book had A LOT of great information about the Fauve movement. Star deducted for the numerous black and white reproductions of paintings. However, it did have cool photos of the sites of paintings alongside the paintings themselves. Great resource.

I am reading a lot of fauve these days because we are refinishing the basement and I love fauve colors. Especially Andre Derain . This is a catalog to accompany a show at the LA County museum. Interestindg especially. The contribution by James Herbert which is inspiring me to read his wonderful book.

This is a massive coffee table sort of book that includes beautiful plates of Fave painters, timelines of historical events important to the movement, and several fine essays about the major painters.

Most comprehensive review of the Fauve art movement (1904-1908). Brilliant essays, over 200 images from the artists. Some of my favorite art comes from these few years.
