elements from the native arts of the


South Sea Islanders and the wood

Among the Western
artists who adapted these
elements was Amedeo
Modigliani, who used
the oval faces and
elongated shapes of
African art in both his
sculptures and paintings.

vibrant colors and visual
distortions. It was
derived from les fauves

to the group of French
expressionists painters

artists felt after the suffering brought
by World War I. These artists wish to

on such horrors.

reality—as though the artists were
dreaming, seeing illusions, or
experiencing an altered mental
state.
