Maurice de Vlaminck (4 April 1876 – 11 October 1958) was a French painter. Along with André Derain and Henri Matisse he is considered one of the principal figures in the Fauve movement, a group of modern artists who from 1904 to 1908 were united in their use of intense colour.〔Freeman, Judi, et al. ''The Fauve Landscape'', pp.13–14. Abbeville Press, 1990. ISBN 1-55859-025-0〕 Vlaminck one of the Fauves at the controversial Salon d'Automne exhibition of 1905. ==Life== Maurice de Vlaminck was born in Rue Pierre Lescot in Paris. His father Edmond Julien was Flemish and taught violin and his mother Joséphine Caroline Grillet came from Lorraine and taught piano. His father taught him to play the violin.〔Melikian, Souren. ("Vlaminck: Expressing mood with color" ), ''International Herald Tribune'', 11 July 2008. Retrieved 13 July 2008.〕 He began painting in his late teens. In 1893, he studied with a painter named Henri Rigalon on the Île de Chatou.〔Freeman, page 319.〕 In 1894 he married Suzanne Berly. The turning point in his life was a chance meeting on the train to Paris towards the end of his stint in the army. De Vlaminck, then 23, met an aspiring artist, André Derain, with whom he struck up a lifelong friendship.〔 When de Vlaminck completed his army service in 1900, the two rented a studio together, the Maison Levanneur which now houses the Cneai,〔(Cneai )〕 for a year before Derain left to do his own military service.〔 In 1902 and 1903 he wrote several mildly pornographic novels illustrated by Derain.〔Freeman, p.319.〕 He painted during the day and earned his livelihood by giving violin lessons and performing with musical bands at night.〔 Vlaminck participated in the controversial 1905 Salon d'Automne exhibition. After viewing the boldly colored canvases of Vlaminck, Henri Matisse, André Derain, Albert Marquet, Kees van Dongen, Charles Camoin, and Jean Puy, the art critic Louis Vauxcelles disparaged the painters as "''fauves''" (wild beasts), thus giving their movement the name by which it became known, Fauvism.〔(Louis Vauxcelles, ''Le Salon d'Automne'', Gil Blas, 17 October 1905. Screen 5 and 6. Gallica, Bibliothèque nationale de France ), ISSN 11499397〕 In 1911, de Vlaminck traveled to London and painted by the Thames. In 1913, he painted again with Derain in Marseille and Martigues. In World War I he was stationed in Paris, and began writing poetry. Eventually he settled in Rueil-la-Gadelière, a small village south-west of Paris. He married his second wife, Berthe Combes, with whom he had two daughters. From 1925 he traveled throughout France, but continued to paint primarily along the Seine, near Paris. Resentful that Fauvism had been overtaken by Cubism as an art movement de Vlaminck blamed Picasso. During the Second World War de Vlaminck visited Germany and on his return published a tirade against Picasso and Cubism in the periodical Comoedia in June 1942. A practiced story teller, de Vlaminck wrote many autobiographies, marred little either by lack of confidence or adherence to the truth.〔Freeman, pages 123, 319〕 De Vlaminck died in Rueil-la-Gadelière on 11 October 1958. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maurice de Vlaminck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
