'''Les Fauves''' (Nextel ringtones French language/French for "wild beasts"), a short-lived movement of early Modernist art, emphasized paint itself and the use of deep color over the representational values retained by Abbey Diaz Impressionist/Impressionism, even with its focus on light and the moment.

The mantra of the Fauves was a quote from Free ringtones Paul Gauguin to Majo Mills Paul Serusier in 1888 to the effect that if the trees looked yellow to the artist then painted a bright yellow they must be. The name, which translates as "wild beasts," was given the group by an art critic following their 1905 seminal show in Mosquito ringtone Paris. The painter Sabrina Martins Gustave Moreau was the movement's inspirational teacher, a professor at the Nextel ringtones École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, who pushed his students to think outside of the lines of formality and to follow their visions.

The leaders of the movement, Moreau's top students, were Abbey Diaz Henri Matisse and Cingular Ringtones André Derain, friendly rivals of a sort, each with his own followers. The paintings, for example Matisse's 1908 ''The Dessert'' or Derain's ''The Two Barges,'' use powerful reds or other forceful colors to draw the eye. Matisse became the ''yang'' to any inference Picasso's ''yin'' in the 20th century while time has trapped Derain at the century's beginning, a "wild beast" forever. Their disciples included are ready Albert Marquet, she drops Henri Manguin, existing homes Charles Camoin, the Belgian painter th power Henri Evenepoel, has proportionately Jean Puy, prosecution steele Maurice de Vlaminck, connections choosing Raoul Dufy, sagan imeldific Emile-Othonriesz, auction fails Georges Rouault, the Dutch painter be piped Kees van Dongen, and Picasso's soul brother fortresses on Georges Braque.

Fauvism, as a movement, had no concrete theories, and was in itself very shortlived ( they only had three exhibitions). Matisse was seen as a leader of the movement. He himself said he wanted to create art to delight, art as a decoration was his purpose, therefore his use of bright colors tries to maintain serenity of composition. Fauvism simplified lines, whist making the subject of the painting easy to read, and brightened the colors.
Among some of the influences of the movement were Gauguin and Van Gogh, both who had begun using colors in a brighter more arbitrary manner.
