Fauvism

     Fauvism is a style of painting with vivid expressionistic and nonnaturalistic use of color. It had success in Paris from 1905, but was short-lived. Even though it was short lived, it had an important influence on subsequent artists. Especially the German expressionists. Matisse was regarded as the movement's leading figure. Some Fauvism artists are Henri Matisse, André Derain, George Braque, Maurice de Vlaminck, Raoul Dufy, Marc Chagall, Kees Dan Vongen, Albert Marquet, Georges, Rouault, and Amedeo Modigliani
