Monday Morning Museum: Fauvism

Fauvism – 1898 to 1908

Fauvism is the style of les Fauves (French for "the wild beasts"), a loose group of early twentieth-century Modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism. – Wikipedia.org

In addition to Maurice de Vlaminck (see art example below), other leading Fauvists are Albert Marquet, André Derain and Henri-Émile-Benoît Matisse.
