Oil on canvas
A commanding floral still life by one of the founders of Fauvism, Vase de fleurs is a quintessential floral still life by Maurice de Vlaminck. A bold arrangement of blooms rendered in swirling impasto against a dramatic field of deep blue, this painting reveals the artist at his expressionistic best.
Vlaminck stands alongside Henri Matisse and André Derain as one of the three principal architects of the Fauve movement, the first major avant-garde development of the twentieth century. Largely self-taught, Vlaminck was transformed by Van Gogh after encountering the Dutch master's work at the Galerie Bernheim-Jeune in 1901. His influence is felt in this exceptional still life by Vlaminck, where the striking colors and bold brushwork capture the emotion and energy at the heart of the avant-garde art movements of the early 20th century.
Born in Paris to a family of musicians, Vlaminck originally felt his career path would naturally lead to music, or even towards his talent as a bicyclist. The turning point in his life came in 1900, when a chance encounter with the artist André Derain on a derailed train led to an enduring friendship. Together, the two established a studio, forming what would become known as the École de Chatou. In 1905, Henri Matisse visited Vlaminck's studio and was struck by the ferocity of his canvases, encouraging Vlaminck to exhibit alongside him, Derain and others at the Salon des Indépendants and the historic Salon d'Automne of 1905. Vlaminck's works soon caught the eye of the influential dealer Ambroise Vollard, who purchased the entire contents of his studio in 1906 and mounted the artist's first solo exhibition the following year.
Vlaminck served in the French reserves during World War I, a period that interrupted but did not diminish his creative ambitions. After the war, an exhibition at Galerie Druet in 1919 catapulted him to broader recognition, establishing his works among the most sought-after of the era. Now his works can be found in important collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Dallas Museum of Art, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and many others.
