Fauvism is an art movement of the early 20th Century and was after the French term fauve, which literally translated means wild beast. The primary concern of the fauvists, most notably Matisse, was the use of color as a vehicle for expression rather than the local color or the actual color an object is. Flesh tones become bright blues, greens, reds and oranges. Emotion was enhanced by bold or "wild" brushstrokes. Artists of the modern art era sought an emphasis on the two-dimensional space of the canvas with the use of patterns and flat planes of color. Other artists associated with this movement are Raoul Dufy's Interieur a la Fenetre, George Rouault's Clown and Andre Derain's London Bridge.
