Introduction to Fauvism Art Movement
Fauvism was an early 20th-century modern art movement that emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over realistic values. The style began around 1904 and continued beyond 1910, with the movement itself lasting only a few years, from 1905 to 1908. Fauvism can be classified as an extreme development of Van Gogh's Post-Impressionism fused with the pointillism of Seurat and other Neo-Impressionist painters, in particular Paul Signac. Other key influences were Paul Cézanne and Paul Gauguin, whose employment of areas of saturated color strongly influenced Derain's work at Collioure in 1905. Fauvism is characterized by seemingly wild brush work and strident colors, while their subject matter had a high degree of simplification and abstraction. The movement was named after the pejorative term "les Fauves" (French for "the wild beasts"), coined by art critic Louis Vauxcelles during the 1905 Salon d'Automne, where the paintings were first exhibited.
Artists and Style
Besides Matisse and Derain, other artists included Robert Deborne, Albert Marquet, Charles Camoin, Bela Czobel, Louis Valtat, Jean Puy, Maurice de Vlaminck, Henri Manguin, Raoul Dufy, Othon Friesz, Georges Rouault, Jean Metzinger, Kees van Dongen, Émilie Charmy and Georges Braque.
Origins
Gustave Moreau was the movement's inspirational teacher; a controversial professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and a Symbolist painter, he taught Matisse, Marquet, Manguin, Rouault, and Camoin during the 1890s. Many of the Fauve characteristics first cohered in Matisse's painting, Luxe, Calme et Volupté ("Luxury, Calm and Pleasure"), which he painted in 1904.
Famous Artworks
This painting is an oil on canvas work created in 1904. It measures 99 x 119 cm and is currently housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France. The painting was first exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in 1905 and was purchased by Paul Signac.
Conclusion
Fauvism was a short-lived but influential art movement that emphasized color and brushwork over realistic representation. Luxe, Calme et Volupté is one of the most famous works from this movement and showcases Matisse's mastery of color and form. To learn more about Fauvism and other art movements, visit our
