Wasn't it Matisse's son-in-law, Georges Duthuit, who wrote the Fauvism book? (He was the husband of Henri's daughter, Marguerite.)

Am I the only guy who think that this guy sounds a tad like Marlene Dumas?

Hey Guys,
Good points... sorry for the delay. You're right that the factchecking probably fell through there Tyler.
And does this guy sound like Marlene Dumas, anonymous... er, not quite. Van Dongen seemed much more in love with vibrant colour, of which Dumas has a rather different sense, I'd say. The sense Dumas also has of what I'd call a horror or death existing in the body also not quite aligned with the desire in Van Dongen's.
Same on the naked ladies though. Ain't it always the way.

Hey There...great blog on my newest artist interest. I'm totally in love with the "Woman in blue with red collar"; aka: "Woman in blue with red necklace". I doubt if this piece was in the show. It's privately owned and hard to find on the net. If she had a name or was just one of the many prostitutes available in those days for studio models, maybe we'll never know. Similarly the Red Poppy girl. Who was she? What a fantastic piece!
As for this little known Dutch artist...Im torn between such a glamorous find on this continent and finally his work getting some play and his work lurking in the background waiting for the right moment. I like "finds" and best kept secrets. I think that's part of what makes art exciting.
