Answer:The title "wild beasts" (French: "Les Fauves") was given to the group of artists known as the Fauves because of their use of bold, bright, and intense colors in their paintings, which were seen as wild and untamed by some critics. The term was first used by art critic Louis Vauxcelles in 1905 to describe a group of artists that included Henri Matisse, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, and others.
