Fauvism: the striped portrait, the harbour, the open window

Fauvism — a face with a bold green stripe down the nose dividing a pink half from an ochre half, the hair in blue-black slabs, the wall behind broken into three flat zones of colour, oil straight from the tube, thick visible brushwork, flat planes butted together and a dark contour drawn round the shapes

Fauvism is Matisse and Derain in 1905: colour freed from the object — a green stripe down a face, a red harbour, a blue tree, flat and thickly brushed. These nine render a striped portrait, a harbour and an open window, each across three mediums — thick oil, gouache, and cut paper. Ask for a cat on the sill, a mountain village, or blues and greens only — the same three mediums carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each render is composed as a bold single-scene panel, suited to a poster or a large print.
Can I get a different scene, like a cat or a mountain village?
Yes — the direction field takes any subject, and the same three mediums render it.
What's the difference between the three mediums?
Thick oil shows heavy visible brushwork; gouache is flatter and matte; cut paper reduces the scene to simplified flat colour shapes.
Is this a copy of a real Matisse or Derain painting?
No — it's an original rendered image in the register of the movement, not a reproduction of any named painting.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
