The first avant-garde movements that flourished in France in the early twentieth century was Fauvism. Paintings of Paul Gauguin show the beginning of Fauvism. The style of Fauvism was pushed towards the arts by his use of symbolic colour. He proposed that colour had a symbolic vocabulary which may have been used to translate a range of emotions visually. The first to break with the Impressionism as well as with the traditional, older methods of perception were the Fauve painters. Their spontaneous response to nature was expressed in bold, visible brush strokes and bright, vibrant colours used directly from the tube.
