About fauves, wild beasts and feras - tigers /- "Fauve" in Programming?, an explanation

Dear all,

Some people have written me telling that they did not understand the second
page of my e-book 'The Craft of the Web.Artist, Some Considerations', which
I called "Fauve" in programming? , at:

http://arteonline.arq.br/web_art_considerations/dois.htm

In fact there is a difficult language joke there:

"Fauvism, French Fauvisme, style of painting that flourished in France from
1898 to 1908; it used pure, brilliant colour, applied straight from the
paint tubes in an aggressive, direct manner to create a sense of an
explosion on the canvas. The Fauves painted directly from nature as the
Impressionists had before them, but their works were invested with a strong
expressive reaction to the subjects they painted. First formally exhibited
in Paris in 1905, Fauvist paintings shocked visitors to the annual Salon
d'Automne; one of these visitors was the critic Louis Vauxcelles, who,
because of the violence of their works, dubbed the painters "Les Fauves"
(Wild Beasts)."

Well, in portuguese to be "fera" (fauve - wild beast) in something is to do
something very very well, is to be a whiz.

I use "fauve" in programming with the sense of "programming whiz".

The tiger there is related with the word Fauve (French) - Fera
(Portuguese) - Wild Beast (English).

Also I used pure, brilliant colour at the background of my e-book because of
the Fauves, specialy Henri Matisse, who I admire deeply.

The tiger made of words try to show what is "inside of the real tigers"
there, or it shows that those tigers are not real but programmed. Only a
very good programmer could programm alive tigers.

All the best,

Regina Celia Pinto
