COPENHAGEN, DENMARK.- Statens Museum for Kunst presents André Derain. An Outsider in French Art, on view through May 13, 2007. André Derain (1880-1954) stands alongside his close colleagues Matisse and Picasso as one of the most revolutionising re-inventors of painting to arise in the first half of the 20th century. Having spent decades delegated to the deepest, most overlooked shadows of art history, Derain's life's work is now once again fully unfurled. This spring, Statens Museum for Kunst is one of the first museums in the world to present a large retrospective about the controversial and epoch-defining master painter who fell out of favour. The museum supplements its own important paintings by Derain with significant loans from museums such as the Tate Modern (London), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the National Gallery of Art (Washington), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) and the MoMA (New York), bringing up the total number of exhibits to more than 80.  Lire la suite http://www.artdaily.com/section/news/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=19706
