An art research project about the style of art called 'Fauvism'. Learn about it's origins, meaning and see examples.

2. Fauvist Art is a part of French art, focusing on
bright, colourful pictures. It was a movement
of painters who named themselves Fauves
(After the Wild Beast) and shocked exhibit
audiences on their first public appearance, in
1905. It started in the early 1900’s.

3. The painters who painted famous Fauve paintings include:
 Henri Matisse
 Paul Gauguin
 Andre Derain
 Raoul Dufy
 Maurice de Vlaminck
 Kees van Dongen
 Albert Marquet
 Charles Camoin
 Georges Braque
 Othon Friesz
 Henry-Charles Manguin
 Jean Puy

4. Here are some examples of Fauvist art.
Andre Derain –
Boats (1905)
Henri Matisse –
View of St. Trop
(1904)
Maurice Vlaminck – The Bridge at
Chatou (1905)
Andre Derain – Charing cross
bridge (1905)

5. I like that most pictures are
bright and colourful, but
also peaceful and calm at
the same time.
I don’t really like the way that lots
of the paintings aren’t very
realistic and are a little scruffy
(the painting techniques). I know
it’s meant to create an effect but
I’d prefer it if the art looked more
realistic.
I think that overall, there
are more good points
about Fauvist art than bad
points.
The art is actually very
interesting and detailed.
