The art critic Louis Vauxcelles gave them their name\u003cbr\u003e in 1905: the \"Fauves\". Translated into English, this means something \u003cbr\u003elike \"beasts\" or \"wild animals\". This catalogue is being published for \u003cbr\u003ethe first survey exhibition on the Fauves staged in Switzerland for \u003cbr\u003edecades. It presents the expressive painting style and unusual colour \u003cbr\u003ecombinations employed by Matisse, Derain and their companions in the \u003cbr\u003eyears 1904 to 1908, situating them in the aesthetic and socio-political \u003cbr\u003edebates of that time. The male connotation of the term Fauves already \u003cbr\u003esuggests the exclusion of women artists on a conceptual level. The \u003cbr\u003eexhibition and catalogue challenge this traditional view and draw \u003cbr\u003eattention to female protagonists on the Paris art scene. Richly \u003cbr\u003eillustrated and supplemented by new art-historical research \u003cbr\u003econtributions, the publication offers an insight into the diversity of \u003cbr\u003ethe colourful painting by the \"beasts\". \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFauvism - the first avantgarde movement of the 20th century \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrilliant colour experiments in a break with academic conventions \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhibition: 02.09.2023-21.01.2024, Kunstmuseum Basel, New Buildin \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Fink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3422801197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783422801196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Deutscher Kunstverlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.40h x 8.50w x 1.10d","brand":"Arthur Fink","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44227614015743,"sku":"9783422801196","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73981486-394e-48ca-ad86-02b5212ae108.jpg?v=1692809689","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/matisse-derain-and-friends-9783422801196","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
