FAUVES AND CUBISM:
7th Hour, Jesse, Courtney, Ashley, Kaitlyn, Bryce

DEFINITION OF FAUVES: The first shock of modern art appeared to the Paris Autumn Salon of 1905 with work by Henri Matisse (1869-1954), Andre' Derain (1880-1954), and others. A newpaper critic called them the Fauves, French for "wild beasts," because of the radical nature of their separate wats,the name stuck. The most uniflying factor in the work of the Fauves was experimentation with color and pattern. The leading Fauve was Matisse, whose aim was to create paintings in which color, line, and composition expressed feeling such as joy, harmony, or rhythm. Theis detail, copied from the Matisse painting The Dancem uses line to give the sense of swinging rhtthm, the glide and sway of dance music.

Raoul Dufy was born on June 3, 1877 at Le Havre, one of a family of nine members. He left school at the age of 14 to work in a coffee importing company. In 1895 when he was 18, he started evening classes in art at Le Havre École des Beaux-Arts. He and Othon Friesz, a school friend, studied the works of Eugène Boudin in the museum in Le Havre. In 1900, after a year of military service, he won a scholarship enabling him to attend the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was a fellow student of Georges Braque. The impressionist landscapists, such as Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, influenced him.

RAOUL DUFY AS AN ARTIST Dufy's cheerful oils and watercolours depict yachting scenes, sparkling views of the French Riviera, chic parties and musical events. The optimistic and fashionably decorative and illustrative nature of much of his work has meant that his output is less highly critically valued than artists who treat a wider range of social concerns. RAOUL DUFY'S DEATH Dufy died near Forcalquier, France, on March 23, 1953, and was buried not far from Matisse in the Cimiez Monastery Cemetery in Cimiez, a suburb of the city of Nice, France Juan gris

==Georges Braque:May 13, 1882- August 31, 1963.He developed his painting skills while working for his father, a house decorator. He moved to Paris in 1900 to study where he was drawn to the work of the Fauve artists, including [|Matisse], [|Derain] and [|Dufy], as well as the late landscapes of [|Cézanne]. Meeting [|Picasso] marked a huge turning point in Braque's development and together they evolved as leaders of [|Cubism]. After a brief interlude in which he was called up to fight in the First World War, Braque's style developed in the direction he was to follow for the rest of his life. In establishing the principle that a work of art should be autonomous and not merely imitate nature, Cubism redefined art in the twentieth century. Braque's large compositions incorporated the Cubist aim of representing the world as seen from a number of different viewpoints. He wanted to convey a feeling of being able to move around within the painting. The still life subject remained his chief preoccupation from 1927 to 1955."==

==Henri Matisse: December 31, 1869 - November 3, 1954. He was born as Henri-Émile-Benoît Matisse. Henri was best known for his striking use of colours and is a indisputable giant along Picasso and Kandinsky. In 1887, Henri went to Paris to study law. After he had an appendicitis attack, he took up painting. He would use a stick with charcoal attached to the end of it and draw that way. Following his recovery, he returned to Paris in 1891 to study art at the Académie Julian. Inspired by painters Edouard Manet, Paul Signac and Paul Cézanne, he painted in the Fauvist manner. His paintings were marked by having the colours keyed up with a blaze of intense shades and characterized by flat shapes and controlled lines, with expression that was dominant over detail. In 1941, Henri Matisse was diagnosed with cancer and soon had to use a wheelchair. This did not change his work at all. He stayed passionate for his love (art) and he painted up until his death in 1954.==
