Thinking Alike: Fauvism or Just Color?

 

Gaugain lived with Van Gogh for a short time, until Van Gogh went truly stark raving mad, but both men agreed Van Gogh learned a lot about color from Gaugain.

Gabrielle Munter learned about color from Kandinsky and the Fauvism experiment of Matisse and De Rain reflected the use of saturated color, said to express emotion rather than to reflect reality had its day.

But what of the man who paints as a hermit, who has not hung out with any of these artists, although their work is now available to anyone with a computer, but what of the guy who simply paints and then is told, "Oh, that's like Munter. Go check her out."? 

Sometimes, for fun, it's an exercise to simply see where people arrive, even if the road there is not clear.
