  3. The Influences In a sense, Fauvism evolved from Pointillism (Post-Impressionism) which, in turn, had evolved as a development of Impressionism. The open-air paintings of the Impressionists emphasized the way strong light broke up the uniform colour of surfaces into shimmering bits of reflected colour. They abandoned the carefully graduated tonal painting of the past and built their pictures with small brush strokes of pure colour. Matisse dabbled in pointillism for awhile, but, his instinct was to make every stroke of his painting strong. He and his group developed a style of broad, short strokes of brightcontrastingcolours. Also among the influencesof the Fauve movement were the Post-Impressionists, Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh, both of whom had begun using colours in a brighter, more imaginative manner.
