[H2]The Fauves: A Brief Overview[/H2] The term 'Fauves,' meaning wild beasts, was coined by critics to describe the style of Matisse and his colleagues, including [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=andré+derain,andré,derain&']André Derain[/A], [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=maurice+de+vlaminck,maurice,vlaminck&']Maurice de Vlaminck[/A], and [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=albert+marquet,albert,marquet&']Albert Marquet[/A].
