From 1904 to 1908, Fauvism, the first major avant-garde art movement in the 20th century began. It is believed that this crucial moment in art history changed forever the way we look at the world.
At first this new movement was not received well by the public. The actual way color was used by the Fauves was a significant departure the traditional.
One of the most influential modern painters from this period was Henri Matisse. Matisse believed that color was given to us “so we can express our own emotions”. He also believed that the painting should not only be beautiful but also should bring pleasure to the viewer. Matisse experimented with color by painting a male figure in pure blue.
