Art Movement : Fauvism

Fauvism : Les Fauves (French for wild beasts), a short-lived and loose grouping of early Modern artists, emphasized painterly qualities, and the use of deep color, over the representational values retained by Impressionism even with its focus on light and the moment. Fauvists simplified lines, whist making the subject of the painting easy to read, and brightened the colors. Les Fauves paintings also feature flat patterns and anti-naturalism.

Major Artists : * Gustave Moreau * Henri Matisse * André Derain * Albert Marquet * Henri Manguin * Charles Camoin * Henri Evenepoel * Jean Puy * Maurice de Vlaminck * Raoul Dufy * Emile-Othonriesz * Georges Rouault * Kees van Dongen * Georges Braque
