Clown 1908
Kees van Dongen (January 26, 1877 – May 28, 1968), was a Dutch painter and one of the Fauves. He gained a reputation for his sensuous, at times garish, portraits.
“I have been reproached for loving the world, for being mad about luxury, elegance, for being a snob disguised as a bohemian – or a bohemian disguised as a snob. Well, it’s true! I passionately love the life of my time; it’s so animated, so feverish…”
