France · 1904 -1908 · Free color and birth of the avant-garde
Fauvism frees color from imitation: landscapes, portraits and interiors become constructions of pure tones and sensations.
Fauvism is a brief but decisive movement in French painting of the early 20th century. During the summer of 1905 in Collioure, Henri Matisse and André Derain experimented with saturated colors which no longer sought to faithfully reproduce nature. Presented at the Salon d'Automne, their works and those of their friends are described as "wild beasts", or wild beasts. Matisse organizes joy with great flat areas, Derain transforms London and Collioure into incandescent visions, while Albert Marquet maintains a more sober structure in his ports. Color becomes light, space and emotion. The "Fauvism" selection notably compares The Port of Marseille - Albert Marquet and The Westminster Bridge - André Derain. His reading favors drawing.
Among the Fauves, a sky can turn green and a shadow red: the fidelity sought is no longer that of the local tone, but that of sensation.
