Painting/Fauvism

History

Origin

Fauvism vem de fauves - fera
Foundation on the Salon 1905
The name originated from a remark of the French art critic Louis Vauxcelles at the Salon of 1905; coming across a quattrocento-style statue in the midst of works by Matisse and his associates, he is reputed to have said, 'Donatello au milieu des fauves! ' ('Donatello among the wild beasts').

Characteristics

IMPORTANT - IT'S PART OF EXPRESSIONISM

Impulsive lines
Simplifixed drawing
Vibrant colours

Why I like it

I gives a playful vibe because of the diversity of colours, it incites in me something imaginative
It is as if it is okay and even respectable to be "childish"

Matisse

Observation

Museu Mattise, Nice Franc
He painted this when he was Collioure in a vacation with his family
Matisse said later he was tired about the tirany of the pointilhado style
1905, very beginning of the fauvism
"a tela eh quase um efeito de luz intensa que irradia em uma onda de cores

projetada da figura neoimpressnista da mulher"

"Tive a sensacao da tonalidade de uma cor. Entao, estendia a primeira cor,

acrescentava uma segunda e, depois se me parecia nao concordar com a primeira, no lugar de corrigi-la, aplicava uma terceira, que tinh aa capacidade da harmoniza-las, ate a harmonia final"

"Abandonada a impressao - o motivo, o tom local - o que passa a guiar a obra eh unica

e exclusivamente uma busca pela harmonia na expressao. Dessa forma, as cores abitrarias (rosas no releveols, lilas nas paredes) sao justapostas a cores naturlistas (o azul no mar) e verossimeis (o laranja nas telhas)
