Fauvism, also known as Fauvism, is an art school that came into being in France in the early 20th century. 1905, some works with unique styles were exhibited in Paris Dodan Gallery. Among them, a small statue of sculptor Marquez aroused the exclamation of art critic Louis Fusele: "Donatello among the Beasts!" " This is the origin of the name Fauvism. Since then, some artists have used this as a slogan to make new artistic explorations. They use a lot of rough themes and strong colors to vent their strong feelings. Regardless of volume, object, light and shade, pure monochrome is used instead of perspective. Important painters include Matisse, Fan Dongen, Delong, Luo, Flemish and Duffy.

Fauvism painters have their own consistency in artistic views, but they emphasize the originality of artistic style. They didn't make any manifesto, just held several exhibitions together. Therefore, some people think that in a narrow sense, Fauvism can't be called an art school, but more obviously marks the transition stage to modern art initiated by Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cezanne and others.

Due to the gradual change of personal style, Fauvism's fruitful artistic activities only lasted for about three years. And slowly deviate from the fauvism and explore their own path. Here, only Matisse still insists on forging ahead on the established road and maintains the glory of Fauvism until the end of his life.

Matisse enjoys a high reputation as the most important representative and founder of Fauvism. Matisse (1869—1954) was born in a wealthy family of grain merchants in Cambre, northern France. 1887- 1888, studied law in Paris, and then worked as a clerk in a law firm in San Quentin. The following year, I took a rest due to illness and began to learn painting. 1892 returned to Paris, entered the art school, and studied under Moro. In the process of Matisse's artistic formation, impressionism has great enlightenment to him.

Matisse's paintings are pure and powerful, with strong decorative images and strong artistic impact. His successful exploration in the summer of 1905 marked the birth of Fauvism. At this time, he began to paint with a strong contrast of pure colors, which had a distinct effect and decorative interest. The works in this issue include Collier, Open the Window, Joy of Life and Shower and Tortoise.

"Dance" Matisse in the works of Matisse in France, he is interested in neither still life nor scenery, but characters. Painters and models, Indian gestures, women in blue, dancing, etc. What he left behind were excellent figure paintings.

As a representative figure of Fauvism, Matisse's artistic achievements are mainly reflected in his research on the sense of decorative form. In the words of Nicholas Watkin, his art has three characteristics: first, it shows all the personality of the artist; Second, it is full of the artist's life's hard work; Thirdly, his works can make the viewer feel quiet inside, so as to get a beautiful feeling.
