2. Fauvism “Wild Beasts” (1905-1909) Form of expressionism in Paris that comprised numerous loosely related styles. Wanted to explore new elements of art not embraced by the Impressionists or Post-Impressionists. Artists shared a sense of liberation and experiment & were interested in the sensation aroused by the objects rather than the object itself. Their technique disturbs and dislocates the form of the object, so that it becomes a vehicle for sensory impression. Most significant members included Henri Matisse, Maurice Vlaminck, Andre Derain, & Georges Rouault

Die Brucke “The Bridge” (1905-1913) Form of expressionism Counterpart to Fauvism-was beginning of modern art in Germany The name symbolized their bridge of common interests and their link to the future, from a passage in Nietzche’s Thus Spake Zarathustra. Most of the artists were untrained in art, but the harsh colors and distorted shapes in their work successfully expressed their strong feelings and vivid imaginations. The principal members were Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Emil Nolde, & Karl Schmidt-Rottluff.
