About

The movement known as Fauvism (1904-1907) was formed by a group of artists formed mostly by Gustave Moreau. These artists continue the path set by the Post-Impressionists (the main features from of neo-impressionism and Paul Gauguin). These artists are attracted to bright colors, bold (as Fauvism is COLOR). be unveiled at the Salon d'Automne in Paris in 1905 under the name Fauves. Some features of this movement are: * The drawing color is released (since the drawing is as a secondary aspect) * Investigate the theory of color (primary, secondary and supplementary). * without the use of tonal gradation and chiaroscuro. * Summary of forms. We found a gestural painting, spontaneous. * We have a distortion of reality. * Interest decorativism (it is a aesthetic movement.) * NO break the harmony and order. Ultimately, this movement is a mosaic of contributions in which each artist was rushing his work as a personal experience full of spontaneity. I joined the violent attitude with which they faced the conventions of the time rejecting the rules and established sound methods. The Fauves believed that through the colors could express feelings and this thought made its way to paint. Not seeking representation naturalist, but enhance the color value in itself. The main protagonists were: Andre Derain, Henri Matisse, Albert Marquet and Manguin Henry. Then we will watch and discuss some examples of Fauve works: -luxury, calm and voluptuousness-HENRY MATISSE This work is a good example to observe even the presence of the pointillist technique, characteristic of the movement Neo-Impressionist. Since this work belongs to the first moments of this new movement. But surely what is most striking is the presence of color. We find a composition where presominan horizontal and vertical lines (sometimes intersect). It is a work that is well structured (in this sense are still very classic). On the other hand we must not forget that this is a very decorative piece (remember the characteristics discussed above) . -GREEN-STRIPE HENRY MATISSE This time we find a picture (especially the portrait of his wife). At first glance, we are struck by the use of a brush, paste, unlike the work we mentioned before (see an evolution in the paint). Never mind the anatomical details of the person represented, but represent that person by the color. Another major important factor is light. In this work we find a separation between the part that is lit and the one in shadow, and this is marked by the green line we have in the face of the woman. Thus we see a clear differentiation of lights.
