This book is huge and traces the short life of the art movement that brought radical art into the 20th Century and made it truly modern.

Hardcover - June 2014 By Klaus Albrecht Schröder With intensely vibrant colours, a group of 12 young artists—including Henri Matisse, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, Georges Braque, Kees van Dongen, and others—caused a major controversy at the 1905 third autumn salon in Paris. The critic Louis Vauxcelles labelled them les Fauvesor “the wild beasts;” now the French translation of the term stands for a style that was short but highly influential in 20th-century art: fauvism.
