Fauvism
The Fauves (from the French phrase Les Fauves, which means "The Wild Beasts") were a loose group of early 20th Century artists. Their works mostly consist of compositions done in strong colors and seemingly haphazard brushwork, their subjects abstracted and heavily simplified. Henri Matisse and André Derain were the leaders of this movement.
