The french term 'fauve' (meaning wild beast) was used by an art critic to criticize the unique work of Henri Matisse (Une Femme au Chapeau - 1905) involving vibrant and vivid colors.

Fauvism derives from the French word fauve which means wild beast. It is called this because a critic said that the violently bright images looked like they were created by wild beasts.
