After searching for works featuring ARISTOPETS from Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, we travel to 1905, specifically to the Salon d’Automne in Paris, where the first Fauvism exhibition was presented.
Fauvism, or Fauvism, was a movement full of spontaneity and freshness. The artists of the movement challenged the conventions of the time by rejecting established rules and methods. The Fauvists believed that they could express feelings through colors, and this shaped their way of painting. The artists of this movement did not seek perspective or realistic representation.
The main artists of the movement were Henri Matisse, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, Henri Manguin, Albert Marquet, Jean Puy, and Émile-Othon Friesz. George Braque and Raoul Dufy later joined them. But which of these artists painted ARISTOPETS in their works? Let’s find out.
Henri Matisse
This artist was considered the creator of the movement. His works were dominated by the use of color, the means through which he sought to express his feelings. The figures appear flat and linear, enclosed by thick outlines.
The Cat with the Red Fish
Tea in the Garden (1919)
Girl with a Black Cat (1910)
Interior with Dog (1934)
André Derain
This artist’s works are characterized by their depiction of rural and urban figures, such as this painting of a painter and his family. The colors are pure and the brushstrokes irregular.
The Painter and His Family (1939)
Maurice de Vlaminck
He was the most radical and revolutionary member of the movement. His work is based on the use of pure colors, simplifying forms. He applied the colors with fragmented brushstrokes.
Woman with a Dog (1906)
Albert Marquet
Marquet used matte yellows, muted violets or blues, and black only to create strong contrasts with light colors and create shapes. Although he belonged to this movement, he followed a more independent path than the rest of the group. Landscapes, portraits, and female nudes predominate among his works.
