Fauvism was an early 20th century art movement known for its intense use of vivid, non-naturalistic colors and distorted forms. Key Fauvist artists included Henri Matisse, Andre Derain, Raoul Dufy, and Georges Braque. They were influenced by nature but sought to mimic its light and colors rather than realistically recreate scenes. Fauvism had a significant impact on the evolution of 20th century art.
