Fauvism
There are many types of art that have developed over years and remain very popular, yet there are also those that eventually just disappear. Fauvism is a style of art that isn't as well-known because it didn't last longer than a few years. Fauvism was an interesting style of art because it consisted of various individual styles that were indiscreetly related to one another (Janson 771). In 1905 is when the artists group got their name fauves, which was from a critic that had seen them at a large exhibition of Cezanne (Getlein 504). Fauves means the "wild beast," which obviously says that they presented bright, new work that had never seen before. Artist, such as Henry Matisse and Andre Derain, began creating this style of art from their own ideas and joined them as one to come up with unique and colorful pieces of art that are still admired by many today.

The artists that used and created fauvism were trying to do something different and be bold at what they did. They took ideas from those that inspired them; created art pieces that was meaningful to them and then joined all of their ideas together to create a new style of art called fauvism. Although the style only lasted for a few years, their ideas and creativity affected other artists to develop their own creations through fauvism, that then resulted in another new style born. Each fauves artist had a different idea in what they were painting about, but they all had the same goal to take a basic picture, such as landscape, and transform it into something totally different that had meaning. The hopes were to help you feel what was going on in the picture and to understand why they did what they did or why things were the way that they were. The picture to them then had more meaning and they were spiritually connected to it. Their bright colors help to express what they wanted to stand out more rather than something else. Henry Matisse and Andre Derain were known as the "father founders" of fauvism, but the creation of this style was joined through all the different ideas of all the great artist who understood and participated in fauvism.
