Fauvism, style of painting that flourished in France around the turn of the 20th century. Fauve artists used pure, brilliant colour aggressively applied straight from the paint tubes to create a sense of an explosion on the canvas.
The Fauves painted directly from nature, as the Impressionists had before them, but Fauvist works were invested with a strong expressive reaction to the subjects portrayed.

Les Nabis – January 11 @ 4pm
Professor and author Ori Z. Soltes, as co-founding Director of the Holocaust Art Restitution Project, has spent 20 years focused on the issue of Nazi-plundered art. We are thrilled to have Ori join our team with a series of three lectures.
Nazism, the Arts, and the Pretense of Civilization Part 2
We will focus more on the contexts of Nazi acts of plundering and then turn to the issue of artists, revolving around their identity issues as immigrants and how this affected their art.
The second lecture concludes by raising the question of how we Americans understand ourselves to be champions of just and civilized expressions of human being.
Identity, Art, and Migration: Refugee Artists in America During the Nazi Period: Wednesday, March 16
