Charles Camoin, born in Marseille in 1879, studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris, under the tutelage of Gustave Moreau. Camoin worked in a variety of genres, including landscape, portraiture, still life, the nude, and seascapes, and was considered a practitioner of both the Post-Impressionist and the Fauvist styles.
While at Gustave Moreau’s studio, Camoin was introduced to and eventually formed friendships with the artists Henri Manguin and Georges Rouault, and especially with Jean Puy and Henri Matisse, with whom he maintained close correspondence.
Camoin exhibited for the first time at the Salon des Artistes Independants in 1903, and by the following year, had his first solo exhibition in Paris at the Galerie Berthe Weill. In 1905, Camoin took part in the “cage aux fauves” at the Salon d’Automne, exhibiting alongside artists such as Matisse and Andre Derian.
The following ten years consisted of many excursions to London, Frankfurt, Naples, Capri, Tangiers, and also to Morocco with Matisse. Camoin exhibited regularly at the Salons and at galleries, and was honoured with three retrospective exhibitions in France and the United States. The artist also participated in the Armory Show in New York City in 1913.
In the 1950s, he was received at the Biennale, was made an officer of the Legion d’Honneur, and was named Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters.
Following his death in Paris in 1965, Camoin was represented in a large Fauvist exhibition that travelled to Tokyo, Paris, Munich, and Malines. His work was also exhibited in several posthumous solo shows in his hometown of Marseille, as well as in Nice.
