Summary:

"Excited handling of pure colors and drastic simplification of line - such was Fauvism, the first art revolution of the 20th century. Neither a school nor a system, Fauvism, like all fruitful movements, was born of the chance encounter and common aspirations of a group of young, independent painters who reacted more or less alike to the climate of the times." -- Page 13.
