[A] method of using color as visual expression is the use of heightened color. Heightened color makes elements of a painting or image stand out. In France, the Fauves […] used this theory of color to make their images stand out […]. This was […] a liberating idea that an artist could paint an object – for instance, a tree – any color he wanted. […] Outlasting the Fauves during this time period were the German artists of The Bridge (Die Brücke) and the Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter), more commonly known as German Expressionists. They used identical concepts of enhanced and elevated color to imbue their paintings with strong emotional and psychological content.
