A cezannian townscape in fauve colours by Réné Durey (1890-1959) , dating from circa 1925.
An influential and highly regarded artist, Durey''s first major exhibition was in 1917 in the Huyghens Room, a gallery located at 6, rue Huyghens, alongside Moïse Kisling and Henry de Waroquier. He had solo shows at the mythical Galerie Bernheim-Jeune in 1919. Bernheim-Jeune had started by presenting works by Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, Paul Cézanne, Henri-Edmond Cross, Kees van Dongen, Henri Matisse, Le Douanier Rousseau, Raoul Dufy, Maurice de Vlaminck, Amedeo Modigliani and Maurice Utrillo. In 1924, Durey showed his work at the Galerie Eugene Druet , where Bonnard and Rouault exhibited in the same year. Durey''s work was collected by Jonas Netter, the great connoisseur of Montparnasse Art.
Réné Durey was a member of the Salon des Indépendants, and had a major retrospective in Stockholm in 1948.
Two works by René Durey are in the collections of the Pompidou Centre/National Muse
...um of Modern Art in Paris. In the UK, a work by the artist is in the Wilson Gallery and Museum in Cheltenham. His work was shown in the 1983 exhibition: ''''The Aura Of Neo-Impressionism'''' at the Indianapolis Museum of Art in the US.
