Les Fauves (the wild beasts) was the nickname given in 1905 to a
group of painters led by Henri Matisse. Today, their paintings are
among the most popular of all twentieth-century art. Yet when
Matisse and his friends - Derain, Vlaminck, Marquet, Dufy and
Braque among them - first exhibited their work, the reaction of
public and critics was astonishment and often hostility. Using
strong, even strident, colors, applied in a manner deriving from
Cezanne, Gauguin and Van Gogh, the Fauves took painting back to its
basic principles, inspired by primitive art, popular prints and
children's paintings, and paved the way to Cubism. The artists,
their work, their relationships, their achievements and the
critical and commercial response to their work are discussed in
this absorbing book, the first in many years to offer a reappraisal
of Fauvism.
