The Fauves (wild beasts) were so-named in a statement made by French art critic Louis Vauxcelles in reaction to a group of their paintings at the 1905 Salon d’Automne (Autumn Salon). Although their subject matter was conventional—mostly landscape and still life—the way they painted was radical for the time, favoring nonassociative and often jarring juxtapositions of luminous color patches interspersed with exposed portions of canvas, and brushwork accentuated by broad strokes. Under the influence of Paul Cézanne’s art and the Divisionist technique developed by Georges Seurat and his followers, the Fauve painters pursued the expression of sensations before nature in terms of pure color. Fauvism included Georges Braque, Charles Camoin, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, Raoul Dufy, Othon Friesz, Henri Charles Manguin, Albert Marquet, Henri Matisse, and Kees van Dongen.
