André Derain at the 
On a recent visit to Paris, we visited the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and saw an amazing show of titans Andre Derain, Alberto Giacometti, and Balthus.
My husband Mark, an actor, and quite sensitive to all of the arts, was very struck by Derain, French artist, painter, sculptor, co-founder of Fauvism with Henri Matisse, and it seemed to us, outsized personality. I.e.- ballzout!
Let’s take a look at some of his work that was shown in the show at the MAM in June – October 2017.
Strong paintings…
Muscular portraits…
Intriguing carvings…
and reliefs…
Whimsical work for the stage…
Even his stamp is arresting…the insignia of the man and the artist…HimSelf.
