1. Fauvism

   Fauvism /ˈfoʊvɪzm̩/ is the style of les Fauves (French for "the wild beasts"), a group of early 20th-century modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong colour over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism. While Fauvism as a style began around 1904 and continued beyond 1910, the movement as such lasted only a few years, 1905–1908, and had three exhibitions. The leaders of the movement were André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, and Henri Matisse.

1. fauvism

   Fauvism is an art movement that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by bold, vibrant, and non-naturalistic use of color. Artists associated with Fauvism rejected the representational accuracy and subdued color palette of impressionism, instead favoring simplified forms, distorted perspectives, and vivid, subjective colors to express their emotions or reactions to their subjects. Some of the leading figures of Fauvism include Henri Matisse and André Derain. The term "Fauvism" comes from the French word "fauve," meaning "wild beast," referencing the movement's wild departure from traditional aesthetics.
