French painter (1876-1958)
He painted with colors so violent they shocked Paris in 1905, part of the Fauve wave that treated canvases like arenas for pure, uncut pigment.
Maurice de Vlaminck was born on April 4, 1876, in France. By 1904 he'd joined André Derain and Henri Matisse in what became the Fauve movement — modern artists united by their use of intense, nearly aggressive color. The group held together through 1908, but it was the 1905 Salon d'Automne that made them notorious, Vlaminck among the figures at the center of the controversy. He continued painting until his death on October 11, 1958, outliving the movement by half a century.
