ABOUT ARTIST + IMAGE
Cornelis Theodorus Maria "Kees" van Dongen was a Dutch-French painter who was one of the leading Fauves.
Following his training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rotterdam between 1892 and 1897, Van Dongen relocated to Paris. In 1906, he moved into a studio neighboring Picasso's workshop in the Batteau-Lavoir district of Montmartre, where he met and befriended many artists, including the Fauve painters Derain and Vlaminck.
Haystacks marks the transition between the painter's early Post-Impressionist production and the clamorous palette and daring figuration of his most iconic period. The theme and the deliberately gestural application of paint appear like a pastiche of one of Van Gogh's scenes of laboring peasants; yet Van Dongen's choice to divide the canvas into two almost equal, roughly monochromatic zones prefigures the bold chromatic juxtapositions of his later work.
The striking compositional arrangement and surprising color contrasts in Parisian Lady show Van Dongen espousing the tendencies of Fauvism. His avant-garde representations of bohemian nightlife and Parisian high society during the optimistic decade before World War I earned Van Dongen both esteem and notoriety. The enormous hat and tiny dog that accessorize this fashionable socialite humorously convey the overstated elegance of the Belle Époque.
