Book Description
"Despite its having been the subject of several books, Fauvism remains a little known artistic movement. The author demonstrates that Fauvism constitutes a specific pictorial system for the expression of reality - a system that can be clearly defined not by any preliminary doctrine, but by dynamic action. He also explains how these paintings are not merely the result of a technique of expression using pure colors, but rather a lyrical translation of the artist's relationship to the universe - a new type of spatial awareness."--BOOK JACKET.
