Fauvism

Fauvism

 

Fauvism is an early 20th-century art movement characterized by its bold use of vivid, non-naturalistic colors. Fauvist artists often employed color in a way that defied traditional representation, favoring emotional and expressive impact over realistic depictions. The term "Fauvism" derives from the French word "fauve," meaning "wild beast," reflecting the untamed and unrestrained use of color in their works.
