Karl Fred Dahmen is a German artist, one of the most important representatives of German post-war art and the Informel movement. In 1967 he took up the post of Professor of Fine Arts at the Munich Academy.
He painted expressive abstract pictures with a tectonic structure, and since the mid-1950s, relief paintings and collages on the damage to the local landscape caused by open-pit mining. Later in Dahmen's oeuvre, glazed object boxes appear, recounting the impressions of his daily working life.

Maurice de Vlaminck was a French artist renowned for his vibrant use of color and contribution to the Fauvist movement. Born in Paris in 1876, Vlaminck's early work was marked by a passionate application of paint and a bold palette, drawing inspiration from Vincent van Gogh and Henri Matisse. His participation in the 1905 Salon d'Automne, alongside other Fauvist painters, was met with critical disdain, leading to the term "fauves" (wild beasts) being coined to describe their unorthodox use of intense color.
Vlaminck's career was characterized by a continuous exploration of color and form. Early on, he depicted scenes of daily life, landscapes, and portraits, imbuing them with a sense of motion through his dynamic brushwork. Notable works from this period include "Sur le zinc" (At the Bar) and "L'homme a la pipe" (Man Smoking a Pipe), which highlighted his departure from traditional portraiture and landscapes towards more expressive and mood-driven compositions. His landscapes, in particular, showcased a disregard for detail in favor of conveying atmosphere, a technique that was revolutionary at the time.
Throughout his life, Vlaminck's style evolved, showing influences from Post-Impressionism and later, a more monochromatic palette reminiscent of Paul Cézanne. Despite this evolution, he maintained a critical stance towards Cubism and its leading figure, Pablo Picasso, believing that Cubism had led French painting into a "wretched dead end". In his later years, Vlaminck's work adopted a darker palette and more naturalistic style, moving away from the Fauvist emphasis on color to explore the dramatic and expressive potential of landscapes and seascapes.
Vlaminck's impact on modern art is undeniable. His works are held in prestigious collections worldwide, including the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg and the Minneapolis Institute of Art, attesting to his enduring influence and the continued fascination with his bold, expressive approach to painting.
For collectors and experts in art and antiques, Vlaminck's oeuvre represents a pivotal moment in the history of modern art, where the emotional intensity and visual impact of color were explored as never before.
