[edit] Move
On en-wiki, shouldn't this article be listed under the English Fauvism rather than the French Les Fauves. -- Solipsist 19:15, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Never a fauvist painter ever again?
Since those great masters, no artist in the world has been known to use Fauvism.
I think its a bit much to say that, I've seen fauvist pantings painted recently. --Syr0 10:18, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] They made a stupid mistake

- -Color can be spelled both ways...look it up.
Also Fauvism is alive today, www.pamsart.com and www.darrell-roberts.com for examples.
hi, I'm a brazilian painter, my name is Emerson Morais and I not agree with wiki, cause I've been seen recently in a class of our School of Fine Arts (Escola de Belas Artes) in Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (EBA-UFRJ), a painting in a style of fauvs, and, inspired for all these wonderful paintings, I'm decided to produce a watercolor inside the fauvs principles. So, the fauvism movement live inside all sensible artists, in idea or action, in their minds and hearts! fauvs forever! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.19.76.110 (talk) 23:09, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] This is a Fairly Poor Article
This is a pretty poor article. The author may have obtained the info from books but it is pretty poor, from a narrow perspective and incomplete. I recently made a correction to the bottom of this article which I notice was removed without any reference. When you are dealing with history or art history you must include the whole history not just the nice parts or one single limited perspective. Where there are multiple conflicted versions only giving one version is particularly wrong. Here is my original correction abet with a few small tidy ups -
The above is a very narrow interpretation of fauvism
Fauvism should not be seen just as a school of painting but more generally as a philosophy.
In some senses fauvism was near the pinnacle of modernism, since the central tenet of the fauvism was essentially primitivism. In fact fauvism primitivism and futurism are all part of the same movement, and share a belief in abandoning or destroying the old and looking for the new. Some of the most famous 'Fauvist' works involved art through destruction (two trains crashed into each other at speed). Seeing war as art is one of the things most of us can't do today, but in the 1900's human life was cheap and often expendable and we hadn't yet had the experience of "total warfare".
We should also mention the most famous 'Fauves' of all, Fauvism was said to be a huge influence on Adolf Hitler and the whole philosophy of Nazism. The fauvist / futurist interpretation of Nazism is particularly uncomfortable though because it implies the possibility that Hitler actually chose the destruction of Germany as his goal right from the start. To build a war machine and ram it into bigger and bigger targets until it is destroyed is an inherently fauvist act. This is why they were called 'beasts'.
[My work and knowledge is very incomplete but this article is even more incomplete. - Needs a few authors who actually know about and understand modernism and art history. Like many histories, to present only one version is systematically incorrect. - Lucien]
