Explanation:

    Fauvism was an artistic movement from the beginning of the 20th century. It started in 1901, although it only gained this name in 1905. The word comes from the French word fauves, which means beasts. This movement followed many expressionist characteristics.

    The artist Henri Matisse is known as the father of this artistic movement.

Main characteristics of Fauvism:

- Use of intense colors (red, green, yellow, blue and red);

- Search to establish harmony, tranquility, purity and balance in works of art;

- Use of flat, large, simple formats with wide strokes;

- Intention to demonstrate feelings in the works;

- Preferred themes: urban and rural scenes, portraits, indoor, naked and outdoor scenes.
