Andre Derain was born in 1880 in France just outside of Paris. He is known to have contributed to both the fauve and cubism art movements. In 1898 he attended the Académie Carriere. He and Henri Matisse, and Maurice de Vlaminck became friends. They would paint together to help one another develop as an artist. He and Matisse spent the summer of 1905 in Collioure, France, where they worked with many artists and learned many techniques for most the impressionists and post-impressionists. They worked primarily on landscapes. This is when they came up with the name “Fauves,” which translates to “Wild Beasts.” He was influenced by Paul Cezanne, and in 1908 started moving towards cubism.
