Fauvism is an art movement that emerged in the early 20th century. It is characterized by its vivid colours and bold brushstrokes. The name Fauvism comes from the French word for "wild beasts," which was used to describe the style of the movement. The Fauvists were a group of artists who rejected traditional artistic conventions and embraced a more expressive and emotional approach to painting. They sought to capture the essence of their subjects in a more abstract and vibrant way.
The Fauvists were led by Henri Matisse, who is considered the leader of the movement. Other prominent Fauvists included André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, and Kees van Dongen. The Fauvists were inspired by the works of Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and Paul Cézanne. They used bright colours and bold brushstrokes to create a sense of movement and energy in their paintings.
Fauvism was a short-lived movement, but its influence can still be seen in modern art. Its bold use of colour and expressive brushstrokes have inspired many contemporary artists. If you're looking to add a touch of Fauvism to your home, you can find a wide selection of art prints featuring the works of Fauvist artists.
