Fauvism was an early 20th-century art movement characterized by its use of bold, non-naturalistic colors and simplified forms. Fauvist artists aimed to capture intense emotions through vivid hues rather than realistic representation.
Les Fauves: The name given to the group of artists who were associated with Fauvism, including Henri Matisse and André Derain.
Expressionism: Fauvism shares some similarities with Expressionism in terms of using color to evoke emotions, but Fauvist artists focused more on the visual impact of color rather than psychological depth.
Primitivism: Fauvist artists were influenced by non-Western art forms, particularly African masks and sculptures, which they incorporated into their works.
