The artists shared their first exhibition at the 1905 Salon d 'Automne. The group gained their name, after critic Louis Vauxcelles described their show of work with the phrase "Donatello au milieu des fauves! " ( "Donatello among the wild beasts "),contrasting the paintings with a Renaissance-type sculpture that shared the room with them. Source: http://irapl.altervista.org/wkp-en/index.php?lemma=Fauvism
