About the book >.>.> The hostile voices which continued to make them- selves heard were not enough to hinder the Fauves from competing freely with other trends. Each of them lived a life in keeping with his character and the unique features of his work yet none of them experienced long years of hopeless poverty or a sense of impotence in the struggle with the might of official art. None of the Fauves left a studio full of works piled up and never sold in this sense fate was kinder to them than to Gauguin Van Gogh or Toulouse-Lautrec Even during their lifetimes the Fauves’ paintings had found a place in the greatest private collections and then in museums while they themselves were written about in the press and respected by contem- poraries. The Fauves were acknowledged masters before they reached the age when grey locks and a noble bearing often christenec substitute for true measures of talent. It might seem that when the general public would become more familiar with them. (OS)
