Overview and quickfacts

Fauvism was a short-lived but influential art movement that occurred at the turn of the 20th century. The style is characterized by bold, often clashing colors, and expressive brushstrokes. Fauvism was developed by a group of artists who were united by their shared rejection of traditional art forms and their desire to experiment with color and form. The style is named after the French word for “wild”, which was used to describe the artists’ work at the time. Although the movement only lasted a few years, its impact was significant, and it paved the way for subsequent avant-garde movements such as Cubism and Expressionism.

The art style is also known as: Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, Modernism

Detailed Description

Fauvism was a short-lived but significant art movement that occurred at the turn of the 20th century. The name “Fauves” (wild beasts) was given to the group of artists by a critic, who compared their work to the untamed, expressive brushstrokes of the paintings. The Fauves were known for their use of vivid colors, often in a very non-naturalistic way. They were interested in creating an emotional response in the viewer, rather than simply recording an image. Some of the most famous Fauve artists include Henri Matisse, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, and Georges Braque. The paintings “The Red Room” (1905) by Matisse and “The Dining Room” (1905) by Derain are excellent examples of Fauve art. While the Fauves were only active for a few years, their influence was far-reaching. They paved the way for other avant-garde movements, such as Cubism and Expressionism.
