Henri Manguin, The farm in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez
Painted in 1919, The farm in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez reflects Manguin’s complete and enthusiastic adherence to Fauvism. A solitary figure lies on the grass under a tree.
Henri Manguin was a founder and early exponent of the Fauve movement. He had been close friends with Camoin, Matisse, and Marquet since 1895 when they were students of Gustave Moreau at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Their camaraderie and shared theoretical philosophy contributed to the momentous joint impact of their pioneering canvases when they were first shown to the public in 1905.
Along with the others, Manguin became fascinated by the color and intense light along the southern coast of France.
