Andre Derain, 1913. Two fish laid across a white plate, one turned belly-up, its tail flaring orange against grey-green cloth. Behind: a brown jug, a bowl of fruit glowing like coals. The Fauve heat has cooled into weight and shadow. #Derain #StillLife

Went to see “Matisse’s Femme au chapeau: A Modern Scandal” at @sfmoma today. Fascinating: the painting itself plus others by #matisse, works by other artists who participated in the 1905 show where the painting was unveiled, and later works influenced by it #vlaminck #girieud #derain #sanfrancisco
