AI overview
Fauvism was an early 20th-century art movement characterized by bold, non-naturalistic use of color, exemplified by Henri Matisse's 1905 painting "Woman with a Hat." The movement matters because it marked a significant break from traditional realistic representation and helped establish the foundation for modern art's exploration of color and form as independent expressive tools.

Fauvism ( ) is a style of painting and an art movement that emerged in France at the beginning of the 20th century. It was the style of '''' (, the wild beasts''), a group of modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism. While Fauvism as a style began around 1904 and continued beyond 1910, the movement as such lasted only a few years, 1905–1908, and had three exhibitions. The leaders of the movement were André Derain and Henri Matisse.
