It's a question given from our teacher for Visual Arts and I can't find any answers on the net!
Oh, and which expressive forms were mostly used with Fauvism?

Best answer for the... best answer!

The fauvists artists always took a scene or a figure as their subject-matter. Their work is therefore figurative. (The name came about because their brightly colored paintings were put on dispalying a room where classical art was on display, including work by Donatello - an art critic then exclaimed - Donatello amid the wild beasts - les fauves in French.)
The expressive form most used by the Fauvists was violently contrasting colors which did not accord to the color of the object/figure/scene in real life; e.g. Matisse depicted his wife wih a green stripe down her face. (the fact that he puts abstract brush strokes here and there - does not make him - or any fauvist painter, an abstractionist.
Other expressive forms they used were slashing brush strokes nd thickly outlined patched of unmodulated color to give an effect of expressive power.
