Kees van Dongen´s distinctive style of painting was influenced both by the bright colors of Fauvism and by the satirical drawings he had made for newspapers earlier in his career. After World War I, the Dutch-born artist became a fashionable portraitist for members of Europe´s café society.

Gift of Audrey Jones Beck
