Fauvism is an early 20th century art movement characterized by the use of intense color, bold brushwork, and simplified forms. It emerged in France around 1904 and was led by Henri Matisse and André Derain. Fauvist artists sought to express their emotions and personal experiences through their work, often disregarding traditional notions of form and perspective. The movement is considered a precursor to Expressionism and Abstract Art, as it prioritized the emotional impact of color and form over realistic representation.
