Description
André Derain's *London Bridge* (1906) is a Fauvist painting characterised by its bold use of colour and simplified forms. The painting depicts London Bridge with an emphasis on subjective colour rather than naturalistic representation.
André Derain's 1906 painting, *London Bridge*, exemplifies the Fauvist movement's bold use of colour and simplified forms. Derain, a French artist (1880-1954), created this work during a brief but intense period of artistic experimentation with Henri Matisse. The painting depicts London Bridge with an emphasis on subjective colour rather than naturalistic representation. The scene is rendered in blocks of colour, with blues, greens, and pinks defining the water, sky, and buildings. The bridge itself is constructed from hues of yellow and orange, creating a sense of light and shadow. The brushstrokes are visible and expressive, contributing to the painting's overall sense of energy. The composition is relatively simple, with the bridge dominating the foreground and the city skyline visible in the distance. The water reflects the colours of the sky and buildings, creating a sense of unity. Derain's *London Bridge* is a demonstration of Fauvist principles, prioritising emotional expression over realistic depiction. This approach marked a departure from traditional painting techniques and contributed to the development of modern art.

Artist Biography
Andre Derain
Derain and Matisse spent the summer of 1905 painting together at Collioure, on the French Mediterranean coast. The canvases they produced, shown at the Salon d'Automne that autumn, prompted the critic Louis Vauxcelles to call them les Fauves, the wild beasts. A movement was born from one insult. Derain was twenty-five.
He was born in Chatou in 1880 and had originally studied to become an engineer. He met Matisse in 1898 while attending painting classes under Eugene Carriere. The Fauvist paintings are explosions of unnatural colour: trees in orange, water in violet, shadows in green. They were among the most radical works produced in Paris at the turn of the century.
By 1908, Derain was already breaking with the style. He turned to Cezanne, then passed through a Cubist phase, and by the 1920s had arrived at a fully Neoclassical manner. The wildest of the Fauves became one of the most conservative painters in France. The conservative turn brought financial success and mainstream praise. During the Second World War, the Nazis approved of his Neoclassical work. After the war, he was unjustly accused of collaboration. His reputation never fully recovered. He died in 1954.
