ART FORMS in the 20th Century2Andr DerainAndr Derain(10 June
1880 8 September 1954) was a French artist, painter, sculptor and
co-founder ofFauvismwithHenri Matisse.The vivid, unnatural colors
led the criticLouis Vauxcelles to derisively dub their works asles
Fauves, or "the wild beasts", marking the start of
theFauvistmovement.With bold colors and compositions, Derain
painted multiple pictures of theThamesandTower Bridge.
