Led by Henri Matisse and Andr Derain, and briefly counting Georges Braque among its ranks, Fauvism advanced a spontaneity and apparent wildness of brushwork and color that won the movement its derogatory tag of Les Fauves (the wild beasts). Despite its notoriety, the Fauvist influence upon Hungarian artists is rarely considered. These artists enthusiastically embraced the use of broad swaths of flat, violent color that characterized the movement. Dialogue Among Fauves explores the impact of Fauvism on Hungarian art from 1904 to 1914, demonstrating that the official account of modernity always overlooks a wealth of peculiarities hidden in its margins. Bringing together works from major Hungarian museums and private collections, this publication includes works by R bert Ber ny, G za Bornemisza, Tibor Boromisza, B la Cz bel, Val ria D nes, S ndor Galimberti, Vilmos Husz r, B la Iv ny Gr nwald, d n M rffy, Vilmos Perlrott-Csaba, J zsef Rippl-R nai, Lajos Tihanyi and S ndor Ziffer.
