MODERN ART FAUVISM 1. ... ” These were the thoughts of Henri Matisse, an artist whom is said to have been the leader of the Fauvism art movement. ... Yet, although Matisse painted everyday subject matter, Fauvism itself was an effort to escape the limitations of Realism, which too was a challenge to the traditional but not quite as much as Fauvism as Realism still believed in naturalistic representation and naturalistic colour schemes. ... Although Fauvism challenged the traditional in many ways, the way in which the subject of an art work was viewed was still very much traditional in the respect that there was a fixed view of the subject, the viewer was quite sure on which view was being depicted. ... The use of colour and the meanings behind the usage also became very important to the movement of Fauvism. ... Fauvism favored the structural quality of an object given by the use of flat areas of pure and saturated colour, to the light and crisp impression given by the breaking up of colours in Neo and Post-Impressionism. Fauvism artists believed light and shadow to be equally luminous, this resulted in the use of complementary colours. ... The style and technique of Fauvism too challenged the traditional… 1.4 Style and Technique The style and technique of Fauvism was considered by many, especially by the traditional art critics, to be a very violent or even turbulent style. ... The style in which the artists painted and the techniques they used to create their works is the how the movement came to having the name Fauvism. ... The thick areas of colour gave a heightened expressive quality to the painting and also emphasized the element of spontaneity that was great within the Fauvism movement. ... Within Fauvism however, it is not possible not to notice how spatially flat these works of the Fauvists are. ... 6 Stylistic Developmental Phases of Fauvism Throughout the essay thus far, elements of Matisse’s work have been used to show how the Fauvist movement challenged the ideals of the traditional. Yet when taking a closer look at Fauvism it is seen how even the wild “beast like” movement came to a slightly-ever so slightly- calmer way of depicting its images. The phases within Fauvism can be divided into the First Fauves which is represented by figure 2, Typically Fauve, represented by figure 1 and Late Fauvism which can be represented by figure 3. ... One thing though that remains a characteristic element of Matisse and Fauvism, is the use of complementary colours. |
