Monotype

Definition of Monotype as it relates to Art, Post-Impressionist, Henri Matisse

Fauvism is an early 20th century art movement characterized by the use of intense color, bold brushwork, and simplified forms. Pioneered by artists such as Henri Matisse and André Derain, Fauvism emerged in France as a reaction against Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, seeking to break free from traditional notions of form and color. The term "Fauves," or wild beasts, was coined by art critic Louis Vauxcelles in 1905, reflecting the movement's emphasis on emotional expression and primal instincts. Fauvist works often feature distorted perspectives, exaggerated shapes, and high-keyed colors, creating a sense of energy and dynamism that challenges the viewer's perception of reality.
