Introductory Quote by Henri Matisse

"What I dream of is an art of expression...

What I dream of is an art of balance, purity and serenity, devoid of troubling or depressing subject-matter. I want my work to be soothing, so that the exhausted, overworked and stressed spectator finds rest and calm in it."

-- Henri Matisse

What was the Goal of Les Fauves?

• overall goal was to express emotion through the color of paint

• No artistic creed or rules

• Though it is difficult to say the aims of the Fauve group, this person gave it their all

• "To render the equivalent of sunlight by means of a technique based on color orchestration, by emotional transpositions (with the emotions inspired by nature as our point of departure) whose truths and theories were built up in the course of enthusiastic research work."

Maurice de Vlaminck

• “I wanted to express my feelings without troubling what painting was like before me...When I've got the color tubes in my hand, I don’t give a damn about other people’s pictures. Life and me, me and life-that’s all that matters.”

Key Influences on Fauvism

• Specifically other artists

Page 37: Fauvism Powerpoint

Gustave Moreau

• Teacher at the Ecole Des Beaux Arts.

• Liberal teacher who allowed/ encouraged his students to branch out and experiment

• “You must think colour, have imagination with it. If you have no imagination you'll never paint beautiful color. You must copy nature with imagination - that is what makes an artist. Colour must be thought, dreamt, imagined.”

Page 38: Fauvism Powerpoint

Van Gogh

• Influenced the Fauve movement with his technique and unique style.

• The artist he influenced the most was Maurice De Vlaminck.

Gauguin

• He was the first to use flat color as an emotive form on his paintings.

• First really became noticed on his painting, Jacob Wrestling with the Angel. (next slide)

• “how do you see these trees?’ ‘they are yellow’. well then put down yellow. And that shadow is rather blue. So render it with pure ultramarine...”

Braque
