Othon Friesz was a French painter associated with Fauvism, a movement known for bold colors, strong brushwork, and expressive forms. Born in Le Havre, France, he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and was a close friend of artists like Raoul Dufy and Georges Braque.

Friesz initially embraced the vibrant, intense colors of Fauvism, but later developed a more structured and classical style while still keeping a strong sense of movement and energy in his work. He was especially known for landscapes, harbor scenes, still lifes, and figure paintings, often inspired by Normandy and Mediterranean coastal views.
