"description": "This painting is from a series of 30 London views painted by Andr\u00e9 Derain between 1906 and 1907. It exemplifies the artist\u2019s Fauve style\u2014characterized by intense, vivid color and energetic brushwork\u2014 that Derain developed with his friend Henri Matisse in the summer of 1905 while visiting Collioure, a fishing village in the South of France. Nicknamed the Fauves (\u201cwild beasts\u201d) by contemporary critics, the artists aimed for the liberation of color from reality, using it instead for compositional and expressive purposes.",
