The Wild Beasts.

The wild beasts.




1905 a new wave exploded

Derain, Matisse, Vlaminck led.

The Wild Beasts they were called

Les Fauves the French bawled.




Reeking of rebellion anarchy,

night mare, hoax, insanity.

So the critics ranted on

at the Salon d'Automne.





Not wholly favourable then

all, in the lions den.

Pictorial aberrations, bad jokes

here is what they saw folks.
