The Table

1911
Not on view
This work displays a reduced palette of red, blue, and brown and an austere composition of three bowls, a pitcher, and a vase. It shows Derain's increasing sensitivity to traditional iconography and genre painting after the brightly colored, gestural paintings of his Fauve years (1905–7).
