Henri Matisse

Born 1869 was one of the leaders of Les Fauves movement.

In 1890, He studied under Bouguereau at the Academic Julian.

Henri Matisse's work is of the fauves style for two major reasons. the main reason is because he was one of the founders and leaders of the fauvist style. He also is known for his powerful brush strokes and exaggerated use of color.
I think that he is the best artist that illustrates the Fauves style because he is the most well rounded. He is able to use powerful strong brush strokes and dramtic colors with out the painting being overpowering. He has the perfect balance between color, brush strokes and overall technique.



Andre Derain

Andre Derain, as well as Matisse was also one of the founders and leaders of the fauvist style.

He is one of the more significant artist who practiced this style because his paintings had everything. He was known for his drastic brush strokes and dramatic colors however he was known more for his landscapes in this style.

Fauvism

Les Fauves (French for the wild beast) refers to how wild and strong the brush strokes were in these paintings in the early 19th century.

This style's main focus was on strong powerful brush strokes and powerful color. This style began around the 1900's however this style only lasted only lasted a couple of years, and it only had three major exhibitions.

Fauvism to artist meant using extremely intense colors in a unnatural way.

The fauvist movement was a group of artist who painted landscapes or people in wild colours and distorted brush strokes. For the purpose of expressing an object in a new non realistic way. It was a new form of expressionism.

This style was only popular for a short period of time because many artist thought that it was too dramatic for that time period.

This style started in the early 19th and was over by 1910.

There were many significant artist in this time period. Henri Matisse and Andre Derain were two of the really significant artist of this time period. Maurice De Vlaminck was also one of the really significant artist of this time period.

History Of Typography

Before type people would print either by chiseling, brushing or writing via pen or pencil. The history and development of typography started with early printers (people who could write), who essentially were typographers.
The first independent typographer was Claude Garamond, Claude was the first to make a variety of type available to printers. Garamond's type was based on Griffo, a roman font. The development of typography was a long process, and there were many times when the progression of typography was almost non-existent. One of the weakest periods for type development was between the 16th and 17th century. At this time many newsprints, fliers, and advertisments contained muxes of size fonts and styles on a single page.
Moveable type was invented in Europe around 1440 by Johannes Gutenberg. Although the invention of moveable typography was an undertaking, no one knows exactly how long it took. Moveable typography was done with the casting of each individual letter, symbol and punctuation. This meant that they all had to be individually cut into steel by hand. After each letter symbol and punctuation was cut they could then be assembled and re-assmbled to create various words.
