Expressionist Art Art History Fauvism
Fauvism is a style of art that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by vibrant colors, bold brushwork, and a focus on emotional expression over realistic representation. Artists associated with Fauvism sought to evoke a sense of raw emotion and energy through their work, often using non-naturalistic colors and distorted forms. The movement is considered a precursor to Expressionism, as both sought to convey the inner feelings and experiences of the artist through their art. Prominent Fauvist artists include Henri Matisse, André Derain, and Raoul Dufy.
