The Metropolitan Museum of Art presents the exhibition "Vertigo of Color: Matisse, Derain and the Origin of Fauvism," focusing on the leaders of the Fauvism art movement, Henri Matisse and André Derain. The exhibition explores the radical use of vivid colors and seemingly crude surfaces that came into public view and received its name at the Salon d'Automne of 1905, causing one of the most memorable art scandals of the 20th century. The show highlights the importance of Fauvism's origins in Collioure, where Matisse and Derain produced over 200 paintings, oil studies, pastels, watercolors, and drawings. However, the exhibition has been criticized for giving Derain less attention compared to Matisse.
