Characteristic Elements of Fauvist Painting
Fauvism is one of the fundamental avant-gardes of the early twentieth century, a time when the subjectivity of the artist was becoming more and more important: the inner world of the artists, their emotions and feelings, were more important than the outside world that they represented in their paintings.
A subjectivity that the fauves (wild beasts) expressed fundamentally with a "wild" coloring.
Colors that express feelings. The colors are not faithful to reality but are faithful to what the artist feels.
Emotive distortion. The forms do not faithfully copy reality either; the artists paint the emotions that the things transmit to them.
Predominant feeling: the joy of living.
Violent color contrasts. Almost no shades are used.
Energetic brushstrokes. Without delicacy.
Simple drawing.
Flat figures.
Delineated contours.
Fascination with primitivism.
Disregard for the traditional rules of perspective.
Predominance of instinct over thought.
