The beast,

The beast, The Brutalists were a loose art society born in France in 1905. There are no clear goals to which the community adheres. There were no declarations or theoretical claims. The name brutalism came about by accident. At the Autumn Salon in Paris in 1905, the work of a group of young artists, H. Matisse, A. Deland, A. Marche, H. Munkin, M.D. Flamenck, G. Ruau et al. Among their works is one of the more realistic pieces on display, in the style of the Italian Renaissance sculptor Donatello. Critic L. Voseles used the phrase "a true artist in the midst of wild animals" to describe the exhibit, so it was named after the paintings of young artists such as Matisse. Matisse, 35, was hailed as a leader by a diverse group of young painters. Brutalism is one of the earliest factions in the western avant-garde art movement in the 20th century. They continue the exploration of post-impressionism V. Van Gogh, P. Gauguin, P. Cezanne, etc., in pursuit of more subjective and intense artistic expression. It had an important influence on the development of Western painting. They have absorbed the expression techniques of Oriental and African art, and pay attention to creating a dry and simple artistic conception different from Western classical painting, with an obvious tendency of freehand brushwork. Some see Brutalism as part of a broader expressionist movement. Others believe that brutalism is not an artistic movement, but a brief period in the artistic career of Matisse and others, a period that pays special attention to line and color expression and is not bound by any formula. Matisse later recalled: "For me, the Beast period was an experiment in the tools of painting. I had to find an expressive and meaningful way of juxtaposing blue, red and green." Brutalism only existed as a community for two or three years. The artists who joined the society went on to make new explorations towards different goals.
