The prevailing characteristic of Andre Derain's work being vibrant colour and simplified forms. His fauvist landscapes express raw, unfettered passion. He felt the composition of colors was as important as a painting's subject matter to convey meaning. Derain's work is bold, exploratory and intense. He explored in his  art a new world of emotion and passion, but with a expressiveness and profound understanding of color.
