Often described as the 'Mediterranean Fauve', Charles Camoin (1879-1965) joined the circle of the international avant-garde through his links with Paris and the bohemian life of Montmartre. Affiliated with Fauvism and linked to Matisse, Marquet, and Manguin, he nevertheless never renounced his artistic independence: "As a colorist, I have always been and still am a free Fauve." This book allows us to rediscover the painter's work by integrating around a hundred paintings and drawings, some of which have never been published before. It explores various historical and thematic episodes in the artist's life and analyzes the evolution of his pictorial language, based on the sensation of color.
