This hall is used to display works by Maurice Vlaminck (1876–1958) and André Derain (1880–1954).
Vlaminck’s expressive View of the Seine (circa 1906) dates from the period of Fauvism.
The later Town (circa 1908–09), Town on the Bank of a Lake and Bougival (both circa 1909) are a reminder of the influence of Cézanne.
Derain is represented by landscapes, still lifes and portraits. Port (1905) and Road in the Mountains (1907) belong to the artist’s Fauvist period. In a number of works from 1912–14, the influence of Cézanne’s art can be detected.
One of Derain’s finest still lifes is the “Gothic” Bread-Basket and Red Wine (circa 1912). The portrait genre is represented by Girl in Black (circa 1913), Portrait of a Girl in Black (1913–14) and Chevalier X or Man with a Newspaper (1911–14).
