Autumn - Winter 2023

Welcome to a dazzling season from Designers Guild

Welcome to a new Autumn Winter season that is infused with the ground-breaking energy and creative spirit of the extraordinary Fauves movement.

In October 1905, a handful of artists; Matisse, Derain, Dufy and de Vlaminck among them, presented their work at the ‘Salon d’Automne’ in Paris and duly caused an uproar. Vividly coloured and with direct and often ferocious brushstrokes, their work caused a sensation and the prestigious art critic Louis Vauxcelles declared the group – wild beasts or “Les Fauves.”

Signifying a break from impressionism and with a leap towards the abstract, a new modernity entered the art world with Matisse as its master – a vibrant and inventive mood ensued with colour, texture and pattern expressing the artists emotions with a sharp directness.
