Exhibition Opportunity - Those Fabulous Fauvists
Henri Matisse, "Harmony in Red", 1909
Those Fabulous Fauvists
The vivid expressionistic art movement that flourished in Paris in the early 20th century and was called Fauvism (wild beasts) and was marked by the vivid use of color, distorted forms and emotionalism. The dominant groups of artists leading this movement at the time were: Henri Matisse, Andre Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, Raoul Dufy, Georges Braque and Georges Rouault. This “first” in avant –garde movements of 20th century art influenced the later movements of Expressionism, Orphism and abstract art. Fauvism was characterized by the application of unmixed colors from commercially produced tubes of paint in broad flat areas, and by a spontaneity and even roughness of execution and bold sense of surface design. This show examines the use of bold color groupings and bold shapes in themes that range from outdoor scenes, beach scenes, cityscapes and the favorite of the Fauvists, colorful holiday locales!
Open to grades K-12. 2D Artwork ONLY. Artwork should be no larger than 18” x 24” matted.
