Collioure. Early Morning
In 1905 Matisse and Derain spent several weeks in Collioure, painting the local scenes. The vibrant colour and special light of this place inspired a new movement in art, called Fauvism. I set to explore Collioure in the Summer to try to understand what attracted the two painters to this magical place and what they experienced.
Collioure. The Capital of Fauve.
Bright transposed colour of Fauve painting has been inspired by the special coastal light of a fishing port of Collioure in the South of France
