the "Fauves"-
in 1820's B&W photography was invented. After photography became a new common art form, artists had to give the world what black and white photography could not.
1874- Impressionism started. Non realistic art form. This movement started in 1905 in France.
Fauvism is considered a branch of Impressionism. Fauves, means "Wild Beasts" in French. This style uses unnatural strong lines and vivid, bold, abstract colors with natural subject matter.
