LES FAUVES
(From 1905)
Fauvism is a movement in French
painting that revolutionized the concept of color in modern art. Fauves earned
their name ("les fauves"-wild beasts) by shocking exhibit visitors on
their first public appearance, in 1905.
At the end of the nineteenth
century, neo Impressionist painters were already using pure colors, but they
applied those colors to their canvases in small strokes. The fauves rejected
the impressionist palette of soft, shimmering tones in favor of radical new
style, full of violent color and bold distortions.
These painters never formed a
movement in the strict sense of the word, but for years they would nurse a
shared ambition, before each went his separate and more personal way.
