16 André DERAIN (1880-1954) Portrait of a Woman, circa 1940-45 Oil on canvas mounted on wood panel Signed lower right 22 x 17 cm A certificate of authenticity by Madame Geneviève Taillade dated June 13, 2022 will be given to the buyer. Beautiful 19th-century Italian frame in openwork wood and gilded wood. After the death of Paul Guillaume in 1934, Derain had no no longer had a contract with an art dealer. And so, in the midst of the Second World War, he welcomed Pierre Matisse's exhibition in his New York gallery. Derain reclaims spontaneity and the exercise of improvisation to integrate it into the execution of the painting as a rhythm and movement.
