Digital Fauvism: Goddess Art

                           
                Painterly Use of Digital Technology

The work to the left demonstrates how the computer of today

can evoke the easel art of yesterday.

This image recalls the works of Fauvist painters like Vlaminck

and Derain. These Fauvists were called "wild beasts" by the

public of their day, because they were not afraid of color.

What they indeed feared was monochrome, and the dark

pigmentation of normative European art.

Matisse began as a Fauve, but developed his own style. Another

famous Fauve was Raoul Dufy. Van Gogh was probably the

single major influence on the Fauvists.
