Fauvism
Art Trail: 1905 - discover some of the works created by André Derain
& Henri Matisse during their 1905 summer in Collioure. It was from these Collioure
works, that the term and subsequent movement, Fauvism, was created.
Follow
the trail of 20 reproductions through the village, many of which you find just by walking along the waterfront promenade. Or perhaps visit the Espace Fauvre near the
Collioure Tourist Office, and buy the Chemin du Fauvisme booklet for a self-guided
walk to discover where all of these works were first painted, or book yourself on a guided
tour (in French). Alternatively, just wander around Collioure and you'll encounter
many of the, now famous, reproductions.
