The document discusses the Fauvist art movement that emerged in France between 1898-1908. It was led by a group of artists including Henri Matisse, Andre Derain, Kees Van Dongen, Georges Roualt, and Maurice De Vlaminck. They embraced the term "Fauve", which means "wild beasts" in French, as it was originally intended as an insult. The Fauvists are known for their simplified drawings, exaggerated use of color to express feelings, bold brushwork, flat areas of color, and juxtaposition of warm and cool colors. Examples of works by various Fauvist artists are also presented.
