Biography
Charles Camoin (1879–1965) was a French painter associated with the Fauvist movement, known for his vibrant use of color and expressive landscapes. A close friend of Henri Matisse, Camoin's work combined Fauvism's bold colors with a more naturalistic style. He often painted Southern French landscapes, Parisian scenes, and portraits, using fluid brushstrokes to capture light and atmosphere. Over time, his style evolved toward Post-Impressionism, blending expressive color with harmony and mood. His work is celebrated for its lyrical quality and contribution to early 20th-century French painting.
