RELEVANCE
One of the most significant contributions of

Fauvism to contemporary art was its bold objective
of divorcing color from its descriptive,
representational purpose and enabling it to exist on
the canvas as an autonomous element.
Emphasizing that color can transmit a mood and
build a structure inside a piece of art without
needing to be faithful to nature.
