Fauvism was an early 20th century art movement known for its radical use of vibrant, non-naturalistic colors. The movement lasted from 1900 to 1910. Paul Gauguin, a famous Fauvist painter, was born in 1848 in Paris and had his first painting accepted into the Salon in 1876. He later moved to Tahiti where he produced many iconic post-impressionist works using bright, unnatural colors before his death in 1903.
