By abandoning all these rules and expectations of what art was supposed to be, Fauvist and other Post-Impressionist artists could change the way colour was used in a piece , the way they interpret subject matter and where intuition, thoughts and emotions were valued.
Fauvist artists were called "the fauves", French for "wild beasts", a term of derision used to indicate their apparent lack of discipline.
