Tag Naïve Art

Naïve art is a genre characterised by simplicity, vibrant colours, and lack of formal artistic training, offering an unfiltered and emotionally honest expression. It emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reflecting a longing for nostalgia and innocence amidst industrialisation and societal changes. Notable artists like Henri Rousseau, Grandma Moses, and Niko Pirosmani created works with childlike perspectives and imaginative themes that captured the art world's attention. Naïve art has influenced modern movements like Surrealism and Expressionism, and its timeless appeal lies in its ability to transcend academic boundaries and evoke pure creative vision.
