Broad-minded and Free-spirited: Maurice de Vlaminck in Paris around 1900
Isabelle Runde, Art Historian

Painter, violinist, racing cyclist, autodidact, family man, and author: Maurice de Vlaminck was a multifaceted and often contradictory figure. His early artistic life unfolded between the bohemian quarter of Montmartre and the bourgeois suburb of Chatou, where many of the Impressionists had already painted. From the 1920s onwards, Vlaminck retreated further into the countryside, and his style evolved. This lecture explores the various places where Vlaminck’s works were created­–places that inspired his portraits and landscapes, remaining as diverse as they are captivating.
