Fauvism is a name for the art of Henri Matisse and his colleagues (e.g. André Derain, Maurice Vlaminck and others) exhibited in the Autumn Salon in Paris 1905. They were called 'Les Fauves' (Wild animals) by a critic. They used very strong colors which did not represent the natural colors of the object, but were intended to evoke strong emotions.
Cubism was a way for Picasso and Georges Braque to present objects as seen simultaneously from different viewpoints, thus bridging the gap between sculpture and painting. In this connection color was of no interest.
Fauvism lasted about two years, analytic cubism not much longer. Picasso-Braque went on to synthetic cubism, which is collage.
