Braque was raised in the Normandy port town of Le Havre, where he first studied art. His early work was characterized by a conservative impressionist manner derived from artists such as Eugène Boudin and Johan Barthold Jongkind.

Vlaminck is often portrayed as the most unruly painter of the fauve school, an impression that reflects both on his personality (as it is revealed in his biography and writings) and his work. A self-taught artist, Vlaminck insisted that painting should be the unmediated expression of an artist’s temperament, „emotive, tender, ferocious, as natural as life itself.“ [1] Indeed, having been an anarchist sympathizer during the prewar period, he would later link the strident colorism and bold brushwork of his work to social and political dissent, a connection that was actually made by several art critics.
