Fauvism and its Origins
Impressionism
• Often nature and landscapes
• Natural colors but intensified
• Thick, direct-to-canvas application of paint (Van Gogh)
• Use color contrast to create illusions of shading
• Perspective
Fauvism

• Thick, direct-to-canvas application of paint

Seurat’s Pointillism
Seurat’s impact on Derain
Defining Characteristics
• COLOR: unnatural colors that express emotion, rather than imitate reality
• SIMPLICITY: no details. Mostly geometric shapes (but not to the point of Cubism).
• EXPRESSIVENESS: this was the beginning of expressionism! Emotions are conveyed through the use of color!
• EVERYDAY SUBJECTS: often landscapes, but also portraits and the occasional still life. Things that you would see everyday, but in an obscure way.
