What is faubism?

Fauvism is an early 20th-century art movement characterized by the use of vibrant, non-naturalistic colors and bold brushwork. Originating in France around 1905, it was led by artists such as Henri Matisse and André Derain, who sought to express emotion through color rather than representational accuracy. The term "Fauvism" comes from the French Word "fauves," meaning "wild beasts," reflecting the movement's radical approach to color and form. Fauvism significantly influenced modern art, paving the way for various avant-garde movements.
