🎨 Fauvism
Visual Art Movement in the 20th Century
Fauvism, taken from the term les fauves meaning “wild beasts” in French,
refers to the early 20th-century art movement characterized by the
divergence from the representation in impressionism in favor of abstract
painting techniques. In particular, Fauvism rejected the soft, pastel
color palette of impressionism and opted for bold coloration. This
revolutionized the use of color and subject distortion in modern art.
