# Expressionism × Fauvism — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=expressionism+fauvism
# Expressionism carries the structure. Fauvism appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Expressionism (Style, 1905–1930s) and its accent from Fauvism (Style, 1904–1908). Structural cues: Distorted form; Unnatural color; Rough brush and cut; Urban anxiety. Accent cues, used sparingly: Pure colour straight from the tube; Complementaries set directly side by side; Bare white ground left unpainted; Rough brushstrokes doubling as contours. Composition: Drop perspective, press figures against the edge, leave unstable gaps. Type and lettering: Cut the letters by hand and keep the tremor and unevenness. Let one material quality come from the second style: Unmixed saturated pigment, vermilion, viridian and cobalt, laid thick on untouched white. Mood: Rebellion, Exhilaration, Intimacy. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Avant-garde, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Expressionism: Distortion applied evenly as an effect erases what the feeling is about, and the picture looks like realism with a filter over it.
# - Fauvism: Covering the whole surface with strong colour stops the vibration between neighbours and leaves noise. Always keep the bare white ground that lets the clash register.
