The painting is a key work from André Derain’s ‘Fauvist’ period (from the French, Le fauve: the wild ones). It has its origins in a summer spent with older fellow artist Henri Matisse in 1905 in the town of Collioure in south France. There, they both experimented with using colors in new ways, beyond a purely descriptive function, such as showing us that the sea is blue, so colors also describe emotional states. His painting shows a red-headed dancer from the restaurant and night club Le rat mort (The Dead Rat), which was also one of Toulouse-Lautrec’s regular haunts. Half undressed, the dancer sits with her blue stockinged legs crossed, slumped on what looks like a bed as she looks directly out at us. It’s a tremendously strong image. The composition has been very carefully thought through, based on a triangular system, and the overall effect gives the painting a strong monumentality. The stringency of the composition and the simple colour scheme with its vivid contrasts helps create a visual impact that is almost poster-like. Effortless nonchalance and confident mastery —that’s the winning combination which enabled Derain to create this masterpiece that now ranks among the SMK museum’s ten greatest highlights – and among many visitors’ firm favorites. “Woman in a Chemise” has often been used as the eye-catching feature of publications, posters and in other contexts because it has such striking visual impact and is so easily recognisable, even if one doesn’t remember the artist. It’s an amazingly virtuoso picture. Derain’s works with composition, colours and lines in a hugely sophisticated manner. If you look more closely at the female figure’s hand, it is completely deformed, but still it seems exactly right in the picture, giving it a sense of freshness and wildness.
