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.
