André Derain's Studio
The photos below are of André Derain's studio in Chambourcy, France as he left it in 1954. I am entranced with his studio space and thought I might share it here. I find the light quality and the room's green washed walls mesmerizing. The room is chalked full of exotic and domestic objects - all beautiful to behold but somewhat lost in the scatter of a creative process. Hope you enjoy!

What an intriguing post! Derain has always been underappreciated in my opinion, always overshadowed by the other Fauves like Matisse. Seeing his work space here is inspiring and wonderful!
