Fauvism was an early 20th century art movement characterized by spontaneous expressive brushwork and bold, undisguised colors. Fauve artists broke from Impressionism and traditional methods of perception, using vibrant colors and brushstrokes to depict light, space, and emotion. The movement flourished briefly in France from 1904-1908 and was named after the French word for "wild beasts" after the public was shocked by works like Matisse's Woman with a Hat at the 1905 Salon d'Automne in Paris, known for its deliberate color disharmonies. Matisse introduced unnaturalistic color and vivid brushwork into paintings that conveyed intense emotion through color.
