Fauvism

Bambi Magazine Issue 2 2010// Rouault, The Head of Christ, 1917

Rouault was famous for being a leader in the Fauvist movement and most of his works were heavily influenced by major artists like Matisse and Van Gogh. Like Van Gogh many of his portrayals of human figures are slightly morphed and deformed. The morphed female form is a theme that has been occurring from ancient art to current fashion photo spreads.
