Well, let me tell ya about them Fauvism books, or whatever they call ’em. I ain’t no scholar, mind you, just a plain old woman, but I seen a thing or two, and I can tell ya what I think about this stuff.
Now, these Fauvism painters, they were somethin’ else. They say them fellas were inspired by them other fellas, you know, Van Gogh and that Gauguin fella. Heard they slapped on the paint real thick and used colors brighter than a rooster’s comb. Sounds like they weren’t afraid to make a mess, that’s for sure.
Folks back then, they didn’t get it. Thought the painters were just plain foolin’ around, bein’ childish like. Guess they were used to pictures lookin’ like real things, not all wild and crazy. But you know how it is, people get set in their ways, and it takes ’em a while to warm up to somethin’ new.
Then there’s this Matisse fella, they call him the father of Fauvism. Don’t know why, maybe he was the wildest of the bunch. One time, some fella lookin’ at their pictures said it was like a cage of wild beasts. Beasts, can you believe it? Guess that’s where they got that funny name, Fauvism, or somethin’ like that.
- The painters used colors that were brighter than a rooster’s comb.
- Critics thought they were just foolin’ around.
- Matisse is called the father of Fauvism.
Now, there’s books about all this, you know. Some folks write about how them painters went to the eastern parts, by the sea, and got all sorts of ideas from the light and the things they seen there. Must’ve been pretty, all that sunshine and water. Them books, they tell you all about how them painters got started and what they were thinkin’.
And you can buy books about Fauvism, too. Seen ’em on the internet, and I reckon you can get ’em in stores, too. They got all sorts of information, tellin’ you ’bout the painters, their pictures, and how folks reacted to ’em. Some of them books even talk about how the painters got along with each other, what they achieved, and whether folks bought their pictures or just laughed at ’em.
Them Fauves, they went back to the basics, like they say. Used strong colors, real strong, and they put ’em on thick, kinda like them fellas before ’em, Cezanne and Van Gogh, you know. They even looked at them primitive pictures, like the ones them cavemen drew, for ideas. Can you imagine? Them fancy painters lookin’ at cave drawings!
And them books, they tell ya all this and more. Some folks say them books are real good, like that New York Times fella, he said one of ’em was a remarkable achievement. Guess it must be pretty good then. They say them books make you think about them painters and their ideas in a new way, even if you thought you knew all about it already.
So, if you’re interested in them wild pictures and them fellas who painted ’em, you might want to take a gander at them Fauvism books. Me, I just like lookin’ at the pictures, all bright and colorful. Don’t always understand it, but it sure is somethin’ to see.
I reckon there’s a lot more to it than I can tell ya. But that’s the gist of it, as far as I can see. Them Fauvism books, they’ll tell ya the whole story, if you’re willin’ to read ’em.
Remember, paintin’ is like life, you know? Sometimes it’s bright and bold, sometimes it’s a little messy, but it’s always somethin’ to look at, and it always makes you think.
