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.

How did fauvism painters use colour?

In the early part of the 20th century, artists such as Henri Matisse, were labeled as Fauvist painters. Fauve or Wild Beast was a term of derision coined by a journalist. Fauvists would spontaneously use two or more violently contrasting colors next to each other in order to create form. They presented an expressive effect, ignoring all color harmonies in the process. The Matisse composition of Woman With The Hat, of 1905 is an example of this.

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.

Was Albert Marquet in the Fauvist period?

Yes, he was one of the "wild beasts", but much more unknown. In a Ft. Lauderdale museum I examined his simplistic small landscapes and then turned the corner to see his magnificent nudes that appeared to be made with another hand. This man was a true artist capable of painting any style. Call him what you will but he was considered a fauvist.
