Kees van Dongen was a Dutch-born painter who lived much of his life in France. With his work he was one of the most important Dutch representatives of Fauvism (expressionist style).
This image is a pochoir print from the book by Edmond des Courières, 1925
A pochoir print uses different stencils. The color separation is manually cut from the template for each color. The colors are applied one by one with the brush. Many 20th century artists (Van Dongen, Picasso, Matisse) used this technique to reproduce their favorite works. It was felt that the pochoir came closest to the original.
