Description
The chart is an interactive lineage map. Fauvism sits at the center, on a timeline that runs from older movements at the top to newer ones at the bottom. The movements that influenced it appear above it, any parallel movements it developed alongside sit on its own row, and the movements it later influenced appear below. Every line is a real, cited connection between two movements: a solid line is an influence historians broadly agree on, and a dashed line is an indirect, parallel, or contested link.
For Fauvism (1904 – 1910), it traces two movements that shaped it, all well-established links: Pointillism and Post-Impressionism; it runs alongside one parallel movement, a well-established link: Primitivism; it fans out to six movements it went on to influence, a mix of well-established and looser, indirect links: Art Deco, Expressionism, Neo-Fauvism, Neo-primitivism, Orphism and the Paris School.
Fauvism (/foʊvɪzəm/ FOH-viz-əm) is a style of painting and an art movement that emerged in France at the beginning of the 20th century. It was the style of les Fauves (French pronunciation: [le fov], the wild beasts), a group of modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism. While Fauvism as a style began around 1904 and continued beyond 1910, the movement as such lasted only a few years, 1905–1908, and had three exhibitions. The leaders of the movement were André Derain and Henri Matisse. Read more ↗
