Olivier, known for her association with artists and writers in early 20th-century Paris, is depicted with simplified forms and non-naturalistic colours. Van Dongen, a Dutch painter who became part of the Parisian avant-garde, uses colour to convey emotion and energy, rather than to accurately represent reality. The portrait features Olivier with a dark bob haircut and striking facial features. Her skin is rendered in shades of yellow, pink, and green, while her lips are a vivid red. The background is a mix of blues and greys, further enhancing the intensity of the figure. A grey cloth is draped across her body. Van Dongen's application of paint is loose and gestural, contributing to the overall sense of spontaneity and immediacy. The composition is direct, focusing on the figure's presence and personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/tree-and-rock-alfred-henry-maurer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTree and Rock - Alfred Henry Maurer — Alfred Henry Maurer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/waterloo-bridge-london-andre-derain\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWaterloo Bridge, London - André Derain — André Derain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kees van Dongen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57588552270159,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57588552335695,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57588552433999,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57588552466767,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57588552532303,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57588552565071,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57588552597839,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57588552663375,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57588552728911,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_9567571e-f72a-420c-a42d-7dcbe53b5587.jpg?v=1777449009"},{"product_id":"woman-with-green-stockings-kees-van-dongen","title":"Woman with Green Stockings - Kees van Dongen","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking portrait by Kees van Dongen, 'Woman with Green Stockings' exemplifies the Fauvist movement with its bold colours and expressive brushstrokes.

'Woman with Green Stockings' is a striking example of his style. The subject, a woman with a confident pose, is rendered with broad, energetic brushstrokes and a daring use of colour. The vibrant green of her stockings and dress immediately captures the viewer's attention, contrasting with the red and white background.

The woman's elongated neck and stylised features are typical of van Dongen's portraits, which often exaggerated certain characteristics to create a sense of drama and intrigue.

In this interior study, he presents a domestic setting with a focus on flat planes of colour rather than traditional perspective. The composition is anchored by a dark blue commode, which contrasts sharply against the warm, ochre-toned walls of the room. \n\nTo the left, a mirror reflects a figure, adding a layer of narrative ambiguity to the scene. The presence of a vase and a small floral arrangement on the furniture surface provides a sense of everyday life, yet the artist treats these objects with a degree of abstraction. Van Dongen avoids fine detail, preferring to capture the essence of the space through broad, expressive brushstrokes and a deliberate, non-naturalistic palette. \n\nThis work demonstrates the artist's transition from his earlier, more aggressive Fauvist experiments toward a more refined, decorative style that defined his later career. The interplay between the cool tones of the furniture and the warm, sun-drenched walls creates a visual tension that is characteristic of his approach to interior subjects.

This work, titled Spring, displays the characteristic approach of the Fauves: the use of non-naturalistic, saturated colour to convey emotional intensity rather than objective reality. The composition is dominated by a tree with dark, sinuous branches that frame the view, set against a sky of intense, unmodulated blue.\n\nThe application of paint is direct and gestural. Van Dongen avoids fine detail, opting instead for broad areas of colour that suggest the blossoming of the season. The white patches representing flowers or foliage are applied with a rhythmic quality, creating a sense of movement across the canvas. The background features simplified forms of green and soft pink, which provide a contrast to the stark, dark lines of the tree trunks. This reduction of form to its essential elements is typical of the artist's early period in France, where he moved away from his earlier, more traditional training to embrace a more radical, expressive visual language.\n\nVan Dongen's work from this era often reflects his interest in the raw power of colour. By stripping away the need for precise representation, he allows the viewer to focus on the interplay between the deep blues of the sky and the lighter, warmer tones of the spring growth. The painting does not attempt to replicate a specific location, but rather captures the atmosphere of the season through a bold, simplified lens. The lack of traditional perspective reinforces the flatness of the picture plane, a common trait in the work of the Fauves who sought to break from the constraints of academic painting. This print captures the texture of the original brushwork, allowing for a clear view of the artist's technique and his approach to colour theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/self-portrait-albert-marquet-albert-marquet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait (Albert Marquet) - Albert Marquet — Albert Marquet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/nude-with-seashell-raoul-dufy\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNude with Seashell - Raoul Dufy — Raoul Dufy\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kees van Dongen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234248331599,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234248397135,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234248429903,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234248528207,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234248560975,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234248593743,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234248659279,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234248692047,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234248724815,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58234248757583,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234248823119,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234248855887,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234248921423,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234248954191,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234249478479,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234249511247,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234249576783,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Spring_Poster_CompositorV1_1782610445380.jpg?v=1782613949"},{"product_id":"the-red-clown-kees-van-dongen","title":"The Red Clown - Kees van Dongen","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking Fauvist portrait by Kees van Dongen, featuring a performer in a circus setting rendered with bold, non-naturalistic colours and expressive brushwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eKees van Dongen, a Dutch painter who became a central figure in the Parisian avant-garde, produced this work during his early period of experimentation with colour. The painting captures a performer in a circus setting, a subject that fascinated many artists of the era due to the tension between public spectacle and private melancholy. Van Dongen employs a palette dominated by intense, saturated reds and ochres, which flatten the pictorial space and push the figure towards the viewer.\n\nThe central figure sits upon a stark blue chair, providing a sharp chromatic contrast to the surrounding warmth. The application of paint is direct and expressive, with visible brushwork that prioritises emotional impact over anatomical precision. The clown's face is rendered with simplified, mask-like features, suggesting a detachment from the surrounding activity. In the background, a faint suggestion of a horse and rider hints at the wider circus environment, yet these elements remain secondary to the presence of the seated figure.\n\nThis piece reflects the influence of Fauvism, a movement defined by the liberation of colour from its descriptive function. Van Dongen uses these non-naturalistic tones to construct a mood rather than a realistic scene. The composition is deliberately unbalanced, with the figure positioned to one side, creating a sense of unease. By focusing on the figure of the clown, the artist explores themes of performance and identity. The work remains a clear example of how early twentieth-century artists moved away from traditional representation to explore the subjective experience of the modern world. The raw, unrefined quality of the paint application aligns with the artist's interest in the bohemian life of Montmartre, where he observed the performers and outcasts who populated his canvases during these years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/self-portrait-albert-marquet-albert-marquet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait (Albert Marquet) - Albert Marquet — Albert Marquet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/nude-with-seashell-raoul-dufy\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNude with Seashell - Raoul Dufy — Raoul Dufy\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kees van Dongen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58176264044879,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58176434078031,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58176434110799,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58231934812495,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58231934845263,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58231934878031,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58231934910799,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58231934943567,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58231934976335,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58231935009103,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58231935041871,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58231935074639,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58231935107407,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58231935172943,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58231935500623,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58231935533391,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58231935598927,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Red-Clown_Poster_CompositorV1_1783629706683.jpg?v=1783629717"},{"product_id":"self-portrait-kees-van-dongen","title":"Self-Portrait - Kees van Dongen","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn early self-portrait by Kees van Dongen from 1895, featuring a dark silhouette against a window in shades of deep blue and purple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis early self-portrait by Kees van Dongen, dated 1895, offers a glimpse into the formative years of the Dutch artist before his association with the Fauvist movement in Paris. At this stage in his career, van Dongen was experimenting with mood and silhouette, moving away from traditional academic portraiture. The composition is dominated by a stark, dark figure positioned against a window, creating a strong contrast between the interior shadow and the light filtering through the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette is restricted, relying on deep blues and purples to define the figure and the surrounding wall. This choice of colour creates a somber, introspective atmosphere. The figure stands with hands on hips, a pose that suggests a sense of youthful confidence or perhaps a deliberate theatricality. The window frame acts as a geometric anchor, providing a vertical structure that balances the organic, rounded form of the artist's silhouette. The brushwork is direct, showing the artist's early interest in the expressive potential of paint application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike his later works, which are known for their bold, saturated colours and depictions of Parisian nightlife, this piece reflects a quieter, more contemplative phase.

The simplicity of the scene allows the viewer to focus on the interplay of form and tone.

In this composition, the female figure is rendered in an unconventional, luminous green, which contrasts sharply against the deep, atmospheric blues of the nocturnal setting. The crescent moon hangs in the upper field, providing a singular light source that defines the contours of the reclining body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Dongen often utilised such non-naturalistic palettes to evoke emotional states rather than literal appearances. The figure is positioned in a relaxed, reclining pose, with one arm raised above the head, a motif frequently seen in his studies of the female form. The brushwork is expressive, with visible strokes that build the texture of the night sky and the skin of the subject. The lack of traditional perspective creates a dreamlike quality, where the figure appears to float within the dark space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece reflects the artist's transition from his earlier, more chaotic Fauvist experiments toward a more refined, albeit still bold, approach to colour. The deliberate choice of green for the skin tone serves to detach the subject from reality, placing her firmly within the realm of the symbolic. By stripping away extraneous detail, Van Dongen focuses the viewer's attention on the interplay between the cool, dark background and the glowing, central form. The work remains a clear example of his ability to manipulate colour to alter the mood of a scene, a technique that defined much of his output during the early twentieth century.
