Painter

Kees van Dongen

Dutch fauve painter who became the fashionable portraitist of Paris society.

Cornelis Theodorus Maria "Kees" van Dongen was a Dutch-French painter who was one of the leading Fauves. Van Dongen's early work was influenced by the Hague School and symbolism and it evolved gradually into a rough pointillist style. From 1905 onwards, when he took part at the controversial 1905 Salon d'Automne exhibition, his style became more and more radical in its use of form and colour. The paintings he made in the period of 1905 to 1910 are considered by some to be his most important works. The themes of his work from that period are predominantly centered on the nightlife. He painted dancers, singers, masquerades, and theatre. Van Dongen gained a reputation for his sensuous, at times garish, portraits, especially of women.
