Le Fauvisme, hurler la couleur
The belle époque. The turn of the century. A group of young people - the Fauves - Vlaminck, Derain, Dufy, Braque, gathered around Matisse. They wanted to "transform life" through painting. Initially, they were nonconformist, even anarchistic, anticlerical, antimilitarist. Their esthetic ideal corresponded to a social ideal. They wanted to use painting like dynamite. If Fauvism was the first movement in history to use youth and scandal as a springboard, it was also a congregation of individuals with richly diverse and imaginative personalities. The Fauves sought to grasp the order of the world. They wanted to abandon the age of obedience for the golden age where each can sense within him his own truth.
