I have been looking for this same answer all over the W.W.W. but i have found nothing except the historical context no religious or social context i believe was involved in the art period. What i have found so far is that it started in 1905 ended in 1908. Also, i got that they got their name from an art critic who called them Les Fauves meaning wild beasts...thats all i got.
The Fauves were a group of French artists making art look bold and colourful; one representative was Henri Matisse. Fauvism was formed in 1905 and shocked many people at first, I think it looks good and is a new and different type of art it is better then normal colours, eg. in one painting the sky is green!
On the link below is a good website for information on Fauvism.
No Fauvism is a kind of Expressionism. Fauvism started in 1905, Surrealism not until 1924.
Fauvism was preceded by the post-impressionists, primarily van Gogh and Gauguin.
Neo-Fauvism was a style of painting from the mid-1920s said to be issued as a challenge to Surrealism.
Before Fauvism was Impressionism and post-Impressionism, and many impressionistic styles influenced Fauvism. Fauvism was headed by Henri Matisse (1869-1954), Maurice de Vlaminck (1876-1958) and André Derain (1880-1954). Eventually, however, Fauvism diminished to make way for the rise of cubism, art deco and surrealism, all in the early part of the 20th century .

Fauvism affected the future by letting people know the knowledge of fauvism and how it was expressed through the short period of time. Nowadays, people can look back to the fauves and find out ideas to do in their artwork
