The artwork titled “Woman with Green Stockings,” created by Kees van Dongen in 1905, belongs to the Fauvism art movement and is classified as a portrait.
In the artwork, a woman is depicted in a dynamic and bold manner, characterized by the vivid green stockings and dress she is wearing. The use of striking colors, such as the vibrant red background and the rich shades of green, reflects the Fauvist style, known for its emphasis on painterly qualities and strong color. The figure is positioned in a way that gives an impression of motion and confidence, capturing the spirit and intensity associated with early 20th-century avant-garde art. The contrast between the bright green and the varied hues of the background creates a compelling visual impact, drawing attention to the central figure and highlighting van Dongen’s mastery in combining color and form.
