Art of Century - Naive Art

About this publication

參考價：USD8.99 Naive art first became popular at the end of the 19th century. Until that time, this form of expression, created by untrained artists and characterised by spontaneity and simplicity, enjoyed little recognition from professional artists and art critics. Influenced by primitive arts, naive painting is distinguished by the fluidity of its lines, vivacity, and joyful colours, as well as by its rather clean-cut, simple shapes. Naive art counts among it artists: Henri Rousseau, Séraphine de Senlis, André Bauchant, and Camille Bombois. This movement has also found adherents abroad, including such prominent artists as Joan Miró, Guido Vedovato, Niko Pirosmani, and Ivan Generalic. About the author: Natalia Brodskaya is an art historian attached to the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. She has made the post-Impressionists her special subject and has written extensively on the Nabis and the Fauves movement.
