What is a common feature of El Greco's paintings?

Renaissance paintings often involve spiritual, religious, or mythological subject matter. In paintings portraying women, they are commonly found lying in a pudica gesture: where the women are completely nude, yet covering themselves in a subtle manner. In addition, painters' techniques involve high concentrations of chiaroscuro, where there are intense highlights and shadows in a soft combination.

Who were the painters in the Fauvist period?

The two most important painters associated with the early 20th century French avant-garde movement known as Fauvism were Henri Matisse and Andre Derain, the founders of the movement. Like Impressionism, Fauvism took its name from a derogatory comment by a critic. At an exhibition that included works by Matisse and Derain in their new style, a critic referred to them as "wild beasts" ("les fauves", in French). This was a response both to the rough application of paint, and the abandonment of naturalistic color in favor of intense colors seemingly unrelated to the subject, but meant to convey emotion. Though Derain and Matisse developed the style together, Matisse is generally considered the leader of the movement and the more important of the two artists in the scope of art history. Other painters associated with Fauvism include Maurice de Vlaminck, Georges Rouault, Louis Valtat, Charles Camoin, Raoul Dufy and Jean Puy.

What were the fauvists main ideas?

In Fauvist principles colors were freed from their typical use. For example, plants were no longer only restricted to colors like green and brown. Fauvist painters were able to manipulate emotion with the use of powerful color positioning. Fauve paintings consisted of intense brushstrokes, rich surface textures, energetic linear patterns, and bold colors in order to arouse the emotions of their viewers. There is notable influence from Post-Impressionistic painters such as Van Gogh whose legacy was built upon during this movement. Fauvists also noted their influence from Impressionism, which they desired to develop on. Although the movement did not last long, they did help evolve the direction of painting by liberating the restrictive functions of structure and color.
