Around 1905, the young generation of artists in France experimented with explosive colors. The horrified public referred to these painters as les fauves, or “wild beasts.” More than any other member of the Fauvists, Vlaminck identified with the attribute of wildness and propagated the image of a modern artist rebel. The exhibition is the first posthumous retrospective devoted to this influential artist of the French avant-garde in a German museum.

The exhibition Maurice de Vlaminck. Rebel of Modernism is the first posthumous retrospective devoted to the Fauvist and influential artist of the French avant-garde in a German museum. With around 70 selected exhibits, it provides an extensive overview of Vlaminck's entire painterly oeuvre: from his first compositions, executed at the beginning of the 20th century, to his experiments with Cubism inspired by Cézanne and Picasso, to his last landscape paintings, in which he developed a highly individual style of late Impressionism.
