The art critic Louis Vauxcelles gave them their name\n in 1905: the \"Fauves\". Translated into English, this means something \nlike \"beasts\" or \"wild animals\". This catalogue is being published for \nthe first survey exhibition on the Fauves staged in Switzerland for \ndecades. It presents the expressive painting style and unusual colour \ncombinations employed by Matisse, Derain and their companions in the \nyears 1904 to 1908, situating them in the aesthetic and socio-political \ndebates of that time. The male connotation of the term Fauves already \nsuggests the exclusion of women artists on a conceptual level. The \nexhibition and catalogue challenge this traditional view and draw \nattention to female protagonists on the Paris art scene. Richly \nillustrated and supplemented by new art-historical research \ncontributions, the publication offers an insight into the diversity of \nthe colourful painting by the \"beasts\". \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eFauvism – the first avantgarde movement of the 20th century \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrilliant colour experiments in a break with academic conventions \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arthur Fink","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48279084466427,"sku":"9783422801196","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9783422801196_f26370b6-d1c9-4d6a-b102-aed7d7ea9c8a.jpg?v=1772489767","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/matisse-derain-and-friends-9783422801196","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
