Fauvism Andre Derain Henri Matisse
Fauvism – Art History Based in a small town outside Paris 1904 – 1908 Strongly influenced by the work of Van Gogh, Cezanne, and other artist of the late 1800’s. Henri Matisse is considered the leader of the movement. This movement was all about COLOR. Characterized by bold brush strokes and vibrant use of colors. While widely respected today, the Fauves received mostly poor reviews when they were first exhibited. Fauve means “Wild Beasts”
This is where Matisse started out. Compare this painting… …with this one Henri Matisse, “The Dessert, Harmony in Red”, 1908, Oil on Canvas (70.9” x 86.6”)
Would you be flattered if someone painted you this way? Is that a green stripe down the middle of her face? Half of my face is yellow! Yep!!! Why??? Why Not??? Henri Matisse “Portrait of Madame Matisse”, 1905
Adre Derain Why does Paris look so tropical?! Pointillism. Right there. Check it out.
Hi, I’m Andre Derain. I worked with Matisse to create a new style of painting featuring brilliant, unrealistic colors. I was also a snappy dresser.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Guten Tag. I’m Ernst Kircher. I’m from Germany. Check out my amazing Technicolor dream-robe! I painted myself in it in 1910. I’m not technically a Fauve artist, but my art was strongly influenced by them. I’ll eventually go to WWI, go crazy, and kill myself. But for now I live like a rock star! “Self Portrait With a Model”, Oil on Canvas, 60” x 40”
More art history?...I’m so bored. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner “Marcella” 1910 Oil on canvas
