<p>This is the first publication dedicated to the extraordinary series of paintings that Andre Derain produced at the height of his avant-garde notoriety, after being branded a Fauve or "wild beast" in Paris for his uncompromising use of pure color. Building on his rising fame, Derain’s dealer Ambroise Vollard sent him to London in 1906 to produce works that would rival Claude Monet’s recently exhibited views of the city. The result was a series of canvases that confronted the traditions of Impressionism and constructed a new artistic language to express an unprecedented vision of the city, seen not as fog-shrouded and gloomy but bathed in piercing bright sunshine and radiating colors. New research and the recent discovery of Derain’s two London sketchbooks have completely revised understanding of these paintings. This book reproduces all 29 surviving canvases together for the first time.</p>

<p><div> <p>If one had to pick by chance the name of a contemporary artist - among a few others - whose biography and works synthesize East and West, it would be that of Najia Mehadji. Born in 1950, the Franco-Moroccan artist spent her childhood and teenage years in Paris. As early as the 1980s, she decided to divide her life between Paris and Essaouira, where she converted a studio for herself in the timeless countryside of the Haha tribal district. A graduate of the Université Paris 1, where she defended her master's thesis on Paul Cézanne, the artist has participated in numerous international exhibitions over the past twenty years, in New York, Paris, Rabat, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Beirut and elsewhere. Several of her works are in the collections of the National Museum of Modern Art at the Centre Georges Pompidou and of the Institut du Monde Arabe, in Paris. Najia Mehadji's light-filled works create a feeling of plenitude, celebrating the union between body and mind and capturing the "timelessness of life."</p> </div></p>
