Matisse And Fauvism

Abstract: In the world of art, the 'color wheel' can be seen to have been invented by the Fauvist Movement and Henri Matisse in particular. This seemingly outlandish statement is based on the idea that the Fauvist of the first decade in the twentieth century were intrepid travelers into roads never traveled. They sought to bring meaning through the use of color in a manner that was as innovative to the art patrons of the day as the wheel must have been to the farmers who needed a way to get their produce to market. This 13 page paper explores the Fauvist Movement and focuses on Henri Matisse. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
