Fauvism

Les Fauves (French for The Wild Beasts) were a short-lived and loose grouping of early 20th century Modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong colour over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism While Fauvism as a style began around 1900 and continued beyond 1910, the movement as such lasted only three years, 19051907, and had three exhibitions[1] The leaders of the movement were Henri Matisse and Andri Derain[1]Besides Matisse and Derain, other artists included Albert Marquet, Charles Camoin, Louis Valtat, the Belgian painter Henri Evenepoel, Maurice Marinot, Jean Puy, Maurice de Vlaminck, Alfred Maurer, Henri Manguin, Raoul Dufy, Othon Friesz, Georges Rouault, the Dutch painter Kees van Dongen, the Swiss painter Alice Bailly, and Georges Braque (subsequently Picasso's partner in Cubism)[1]The paintings of the Fauves were characterised by seemingly wild brush work and strident colours, while their subject matter had a high degree of simplification and abstraction[2] Fauvism can be classified as an extreme development of Van Gogh's Post-Impressionism fused with the pointillism of Seurat[2] and other Neo-Impressionist painters, in particular Paul Signac

Other key influences were Paul Cizanne[3] and Paul Gauguin, whose employment of areas of saturated colournotably in paintings from Tahitistrongly influenced Derain's work at Collioure in 1905[4] In 1888 Gauguin had said to Paul Sirusier:[5]Fauvism can also be seen as a mode of Expressionism[2]Gustave Moreau was the movement's inspirational teacher;[6] a controversial professor at the icole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and a Symbolist painter, he taught Matisse, Marquet, Manguin, Rouault and Camoin during the 1890s, and was viewed by critics as the group's philosophical leader until Matisse was recognized as such in 1904
