In 1905, a group of young artists exhibited their work at a gallery in Paris, France. After visiting the show, a well-known art critic called the group les fauves (“the wild beasts”) for their violent use of color to stir emotions.
Fauvism is characterized by brilliant color and powerful, expressive brushwork. This exciting style uses not-natural color to paint common objects and scenes.
The Fauves were strongly influenced by the work of Vincent van Gogh,Henri Matisse,and Paul Cezanne. Henri Matisse was the creator for Fauvism.
Fauvism went away in 1908. Although short-lived, the art style held an important place in the development of Modernism. It provided artists with a transitional phase that eventually gave rise to Expressionism and Cubism.
