Sentences with FAUVES (5)
Quite a bargain, only I don't happen to have the money." * * * * * Louisa Mebbin's pretty week-end cottage, christened by her "Les Fauves," and gay in summertime with its garden borders of tiger-lilies, is the wonder and admiration of her friends.
Leurs poitrines superbes se bombaient sous les mousselines transparentes qui les drapaient; elles étaient fauves et polies comme du bronze.
Chasser avec passion, courir nuit et jour à travers les forêts et les plaines, poursuivre cerfs ou sangliers, attaquer, le couteau à la main, les fauves des montagnes, tels furent les passe-temps ordinaires du jeune comte, lequel, étant très brave et très résolu, accomplit de véritables prouesses en ces rudes exercices.
Femmes, enfants, vieillards, engourdis pêle-mêle, verront par les fentes de leurs cavernes monter tristement sur leur tête un soleil sombre où, comme sur un tison qui s'éteint, courront des lueurs fauves, tandis qu'une neige éblouissante d'étoiles continuera de briller tout le jour dans le ciel noir, travers l'air glacial.

Quotes with FAUVES (3)
Experience was my only teacher; I knew little of the modern art movement. When I first saw the works of the Impressionists, van Gogh, van Dongen, and Fauves, I admired it. But I had to seek the true way alone.
Painter after painter, since the beginning of the century, has tended toward abstraction. First, the Impressionists simplified the landscape in terms of color, and then the Fauves simplified it again by adding distortion, which, for some reason, is a characteristic of our century.
Distortion came first from the fauves, who, in turn, were under the strong influence of primitive art.
