Answer:

Fauvism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry Matisse was a French artist known for the use of color, the intensity of its use makes him notorious as one of the Fauves.

The Fauvism was named after the French "Les Fauves" which meant "Wild beasts". It was an artistic movement of the early 20th century that arose as an opposition to the Impressionism. The FauveĀ“s works, like those of Matisse and Picasso, emphasized painterly qualities and strong colors. They were the contrary of realistic values that the Impressionism held.

I hope this answer helps you.
