Label TextSelf-taught, Vlaminck's early work combined expressive, broad brushstrokes with the exuberant color of Fauvists such as Andre Derain and Henri Matisse, artists with whom he painted and exhibited. Following the 1907 Cezanne Retrospective held in Paris, Vlaminck fell under the spell of the recently deceased artist's palette, technique, and obsession with pure landscape. The Bridge is one such example, as seen in the more muted tones and constructivist brushwork of the composition, a decided turn away from the strident hues of the Fauves.
