fauvism definition and meaning

What is "fauvism"?

Fauvism is style of art that developed in the early 20th century and is known for its bright colors and bold, expressive painting techniques. This style uses vivid, often unusual colors applied in a relaxed and uncontrolled manner, which results in visible brushstrokes, focusing more on emotional impact than realistic details. Fauvist artists, like Henri Matisse and André Derain, used color to convey mood and create strong visual effects, often ignoring traditional perspectives and proportions. The goal was to achieve a sense of energy and liveliness through the use of color, rather than through detailed or accurate representation.
