This Kees Van Dongen rare vintage 1948 Fauvism limited edition French fine art lithograph print " Les Danseuses " 1906, is an incredibly special and unique piece to add to your collection.
The fine art lithograph print is printed in France in 1948 by Les Editions Du Chene Paris, as part of a French portfolio of limited edition Fauvism lithograph prints titled " Les Fauves Peintures ". The vintage lithograph print features an artwork image originally created by Van Dongen in 1906 titled " Les Danseuses ".
Cornelis Theodorus Maria Kees Van Dongen ( 1877 - 1968 ) was a Dutch - French painter who was one of the leading Fauvists. His early work was influenced by The Hague School and Symbolism, later evolving into a more radical style in its use of form, color, and subject matter. His most important works are from the period of 1905 - 1910, with themes predominately focused on the nightlife, painting dancers, singers, masquerades and theater. Van Dongen earned a solid reputation with the French bourgeoisie and upper class for his sensual and lush colors of the Fauvist style as part of the Avant Garde wave of painters.
In 1905 Henri Matisse, Andre Derain, Maurice De Vlaminck, Georges Braque, Raoul Dufy, and Kees Van Dongen exhibited their highly innovative paintings at the controversial Salon D'Automne. The vivid, unnatural colors led the art critic Louis Vauxcelles to name their work as " Les Fauves ", or " The Wild Beasts ", marking the start of The Fauvist Movement.
The lithograph print plate image measures 8 5/8" W X 10 7/8" H, on a page that is 10 7/8" W X 14 7/8" H. The print is attached to the page with a method called " tipping " where it is attached by hand on the left side edge. Behind the print plate on the page is the title, date and size of the original artwork.
The rare out of print limited edition French lithograph print is in excellent vintage condition consistent with age and light signs of handling to the page backing. It has never been framed. Please see photos for condition reference. It is now being offered here for an excellent price.
