Image by wallyg
Château Noir, 1903-1904
Oil on canvas, 29 x 36 3/4" (73.6 x 93.2 cm).
Paul Cézanne, French, 1839-1906
After settling in Aix, France, in 1899, Cézanne ventured daily into the surrounding Provençal landscape in search of subjects to paint. The Château Noir, a recently constructed neo–Gothic castle designed to mimic aged ruins, captivated him. He repeatedly represented this structure and also painted from its grounds, where he had an unobstructed view of nearby Mont Sainte–Victoire, another favored subject. As is typical of landscapes executed late in his career, Cézanne applied thick paint in broad, multihued swatches. This painting once belonged to Claude Monet and hung in his bedroom in Giverny.

NYC - MoMA: André Derain's London Bridge
Image by wallyg
London Bridge, winter 1906.
Oil on canvas, 26 x 39" (66 x 99.1 cm).
André Derain, French, 1880-1954
André Derain was co-founder of Fauvism with Henri Matisse. In March 1906, the noted art dealer Ambroise Vollard sent Derain to London to compose a series of paintings with the city as subject. In 30 paintings (29 of which are still extant), Derain put forth a portrait of London that was radically different from anything done by previous painters of the city such as Whistler or Monet. With bold colors and compositions, Derain painted multiple pictures of the Thames and Tower Bridge. These London paintings remain among his most popular work.
