Face Mask. Acrylic paint (June 2012).
This painting was for a Fundamentals of Color class assignment, where we had to create a painting inspired by the Fauvist movement. Fauvism was created in the early 1900s in France by Henri Matisse and was short lived but included artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Paul Seurat.
They were named Les Fauves (meaning Wild Beasts) by a reporter of the time. Art from this movement used bright colors, mostly primary. They also used rough short brush strokes to give the work an animalistic feel.
