Fauvism was known as a violence of colours - the colours were applied (unmixed) from tubes of paint to a flat surface by a bold sense of surface design. The Fauves used contrasting, non- descriptive colours.
The leader of the Fauves was Henri Matisse, his painting "Woman with the hat" is shown above, it was painted in 1904.
