![Kees van Dongen
Cornelis Theodorus Maria Kees van Dongen (26 January 1877 – 28 May 1968) was a Dutch-French painter who was one of the leading Fauves.
Van Dongens early work was influenced by the Hague School and symbolism and it evolved gradually into a rough pointillist style.
From 1905 onwards – when he took part at the controversial 1905 Salon dAutomne exhibition – his style became more and more radical in its use of form and colour.
The paintings he made in the period of 1905–1910 are considered by some to be his most important works.[3] The themes of his work from that period are predominantly centered around the nightlife; he paints dancers, singers, masquerades and theatre. Van Dongen gained a reputation for his sensuous – at times garish – portraits of especially women.
