For our first episode away from Futurism we look back at the Salon D'Automne of 1905, the exhibition that lead to the coining of the term Fauve, and Fauvism. But was this designation by critic Louis Vauxcelles correct? Was Fauvism ever a movement? Or just a loose taxonomy for limited critical minds to classify forms of expression as yet unseen? What is the role of art criticism? Can we see the emergent art movment Vauxcelles did? Can you? Join us! Links for images discussed are below. 

Our intro music is by Aron Gyenge, whom we greatly thank.

Fauvism Pt  1 RAW

The 20th Century was the age of the Manifesto. No longer waiting to be retrospectively defined by critics and historians, writers like F.T.Marinetti, Tristan Tzara and Andre Breton took their identities, goals and methods into their own hands. They would decide what they are and how the world should be. Through manifestos, art and political movements would have a core set of documents that outlined their proposals, criticisms and practical solutions to problems they saw.

Yet, too few of us today are aware of the profound changes these movements and manifestos had. That’s where we come in. We’ll be selecting manifestos from the 20th century: examining their form and rhetoric, the ideas within them, offering judgments, and tracing history, as well as engaging with the art, music and writing these manifestos would inspire. 

We aim to provide a copy of the core works that we look at in the description of each episode, so you can follow us.
