What is the history and characteristics of the Fauvism movement?
Fauvism is the name given to work produced by a group of artists (which included Henri Matisse and André Derain) circa 1905 to 1910, characterized by bold, pure colors applied aggressively directly from tubes of paint to create a sense of explosion on canvas, fierce brushstrokes. Like the Impressionists, the Fauvists painted directly in nature but the subjects were portrayed in a strong and expressive way.
