The first characteristic a viewer will notice on fauvist works is the intense colors used throughout the painting. Fauvists used pure and
unblended colors in a way that has nothing to do with how the human eye views an object, person or a landscape. Another deviation
from the predominant movement of the late 19th century, impressionism, was the absence of small and thin brush strokes. Disregard of
three-dimensionality does not refer to disregard of perspective, as fauvist painters made use of the technique to depict depth in objects
and landscapes. Instead, the issues that weakened the perception of depth on fauvist paintings were the seemingly autonomous bold
strokes and the lack of subtle shading.
