“Landscape near Chatou,” created by Andre Derain in 1904, is an oil painting executed on panel. The dimensions of this work are 56.2 x 46.04 cm, and it resides in a private collection. This artwork belongs to the movements of Fauvism and Neo-Impressionism, and it is categorized as a landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a vibrant and colorful rural scene, likely representing the area near Chatou. The artist has employed bold, expressive brushstrokes and a vivid palette of reds, yellows, greens, blues, and purples. The composition showcases a series of houses with red-tiled roofs nestled amid lush vegetation, all rendered in a style characteristic of the Fauves. The interplay of colors and the emphasis on painterly qualities create a dynamic, almost abstract representation of the landscape, highlighting Derain’s innovative approach to color and form.
