Charles Camoin : Un Fauve En Liberté

Exhibition at the Musée de Montmartre, Paris, 11 March - 11 September 2022

Often described as the 'Mediterranean Fauve', Charles Camoin (1879-1965)- through his links with Paris and the bohemian life of Montmartre-joined the circle of the international avant-garde. Despite his affiliation with Fauvism and his friendship with Matisse, Marquet and Manguin, he never abandoned his artistic independence.

This exhibition catalogue allows to rediscover the painter's work through one hundred paintings and drawings, some of which have never before been exhibited. It takes a closer look at some of the main historical and thematic episodes in the artist's life, and analyses the developments in his pictorial language, based on the sensations of colour.
