  1. Fauvism and the Still Life:It’s all about COLOR Visual Art I

  2. Who were the Fauves? • Fauvism was a French art movement, led by Henri Matisse, spanning from 1869-1954. • Fauves is French for “Wild Beasts”. This name was used because the artists used intense, almost violent colors in an unnatural way.

  3. Influences • In the early 1900s there were several major exhibitions in Paris of Post Impressionist artwork. These included the works of Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Paul Cezanne and were radically different from previous work displayed. • They had loose brush strokes and bright, free use of color. These exhibitions inspired many artists who were looking to liberate their own style. 

  4. Post-Impressionist work that might have influenced the Fauves Paul Gauguin- Breton Peasant Women 1894

  5. Post-Impressionist work that might have influenced the Fauves Vincent van Gogh - Village Street in Auvers1890

  6. Post-Impressionist work that might have influenced the Fauves Paul Cezanne- Table, Napkin, and Fruit1895-1900

  7. “Wild Beasts” • The Fauves took the free use of color even further by using arbitrary and unnatural colors. They might paint a sky bright red or a person’s face green. • Complementary or Analogous color schemes were often used. • Colors were chosen for expressive purposes, not based on realism.

  8. Complimentary Colors: Colors that are across from each other on the color wheel. What are the 3 Primary Colors and their 3 Complimentary Colors? Analogous Colors: are groups of colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. Analogous Colors are the range of colors that fall between two primary colors.

Characteristics of Fauvist Artwork Painters used VIVID COLORS in their paintings Colors were used to express FEELINGS & EMOTIONS When painting, the artists did not blend or mix the paints Their subject matter was REPRESENTATIONAL but did not necessarily look completely REALISTIC. Fauvist Artists painted using SIMPLE & sometimes ‘Blocky’ Shapes Their BRUSH STROKES were LOOSE & REPETITIVE and often created patterns within the artwork

Common still life subjects include vessels, food, flowers, books, clothing. • A still life painting which reminds us of life's fleeting qualities is called a vanitas. • This genre flourished particularly among Dutch painters of the seventeenth century. • The plural form is "still lifes."
