Fauves: "les fauves"-wild beasts". Les Fauves (French for The Wild Beasts) were a short-lived and loose grouping of early Modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities, and the use of deep color over the representational values retained by Impressionism. Fauvists simplified lines, made the subject of the painting easy to read, exaggerated perspectives and used brilliant but arbitrary colors. They also emphasized freshness and spontaneity over finish.

Fauvism: 1898 to 1910.

Fauvist paintings often used very bright colours with short blunt brushstrokes.

Fauvism Painters included: Henri Matisse, Andre Derain, Georges Braque, and Maurice de Vlaminck.
