如何定义天真的艺术风格 ？

什么是朴素艺术？

什么是朴素艺术，您如何定义朴素艺术？中殿绘画是一种艺术风格，是由像亨利·卢梭这样对艺术一窍不通的艺术家开创的。大多数时候，朴素艺术被定义为由没有接受过专业艺术家培训和教育的人创作的视觉艺术。当专业艺术家试图复制这种风格时，它通常被称为“原始主义”。

朴素艺术的定义是什么？

朴素艺术通常被定义为由没有像专业艺术家那样接受过正规培训和教育（解剖学、艺术史、技术、视角、观看方式）的人创作的视觉艺术。当训练有素的艺术家试图复制这种风格时，它有时被称为原始主义、伪朴素艺术或假朴素艺术。

与民间艺术不同，朴素艺术不必来自特定的流行文化背景或传统。事实上，至少在发达经济体和自印刷革命以来，不可能不了解通过流行印刷品和其他媒体传播的当地美术传统。天真的艺术家知道“美术”惯例，例如图形透视和构图惯例，但他们不能或不会充分利用它们的潜力。另一方面，局外人艺术（也称为“art brut”）是指来自相似背景但与主流艺术世界关系不大的作品。

朴实的艺术素以童真纯朴着称，这也是它经常被抄袭的原因。这类画作的画法通常是平面的，表现深度的方式简单。亨利·卢梭，法国后印象派画家，生于 1844 年至 1910 年，被巴勃罗·毕加索发现，是“素朴艺术”最重要的画家之一。

对于该术语的含义以及它与民间艺术和局外人艺术等其他术语“结束”的位置存在一些分歧。 Nave art 通常用于描述自学成才的艺术家创作的美术作品，例如绘画和雕塑。另一方面，民间艺术是指可以在日常生活中使用的东西。但这种差异一直存在争议。 “省”是另一个可以使用的词，特别是对于绘画和建筑。它主要用于描述受过一些传统训练但作品偶然达不到大都市或宫廷标准的艺术家的作品。

朴素艺术的特点是什么？

人们通常认为朴素艺术是由没有接受过（或没有接受过多少）培训或学位的局外人创作的作品。在 20 世纪之前，情况确实如此，但现在出现了朴素艺术的学校。朴素艺术现在是一种得到充分认可的艺术类型，可以在世界各地的画廊中看到。

朴素艺术的特征与绘画的形式方面不太吻合，尤其是当不遵循三个透视法则时（如文艺复兴时期的进步画家所描述的）：

• 距离越远，物体的体积越小，
• 颜色随着距离的增加而变化，-随着距离的增加，细节变得不那么清晰，

以下是结果：

• 透视效果在几何上是错误的（它们看起来像中世纪的儿童图画或绘画，但这就是比较结束的地方）。
• 强烈使用图案，在构图的所有平面上使用未经提炼的颜色，背景没有弱化。 -同样注意细节，包括那些应该被遮蔽的背景。

人们说朴素的艺术很容易被发现，因为它并不复杂。然而，它变得如此流行和众所周知，以至于许多例子都可以称为“伪天真”。

“Pseudo nave”或“faux nave”艺术是更模仿或自觉的艺术家的作品，其作品看起来比原作更复制。 “朴素”艺术是没有上过艺术学校或学院的艺术家的作品，例如亨利·卢梭或阿尔弗雷德·沃利斯。

由于自学作为一种学习方式在现代变得越来越流行，因此在现代艺术家中不太可能发现严格的天真。在世艺术家并不总是喜欢幼稚的分类，但随着更多尊贵的信号为人所知，这种情况可能会改变。匈牙利凯奇凯梅特现在有朴素艺术博物馆；科瓦伊卡，塞尔维亚；拉脱维亚里加；西班牙哈恩；巴西里约热内卢；法国维克；和巴黎。 Gary Bunt、Lyle Carbajal、Gabe Langholtz、Gigi Mills、Barbara Olsen、Paine Proffitt 和 Alain Thomas 都是在世的讲英语的艺术家，他们承认自己有一种天真的风格。

“原始艺术”是没有学过艺术的人经常用来形容它的另一个词。不过，从历史上看，它更多地用于描述西方学术界认为在社会或技术上属于“原始”文化的艺术，例如美洲原住民、撒哈拉以南非洲和太平洋岛屿艺术（请参阅部落艺术）。这不同于被称为“原始主义”的受“原始”启发的自我意识运动。民间艺术是另一个与民间艺术相似但不是一回事的术语。

还有术语“navism”和“primitivism”，通常用于描述以朴素艺术为风格的专业画家（如 Paul Gauguin、Mikhail Larionov、Paul Klee）。

朴素绘画的特点是什么？

朴素的艺术有时被用来描述没有专业培训或学位的人制作的艺术。 20世纪以前是这样，但现在有中堂画的学院。现在，朴素艺术是一种众所周知的艺术形式，可以在世界各地的画廊中看到。绘画的形式部分与构成朴素艺术的东西出奇地相似，尤其是在不遵循三个透视规则的情况下。

-随着事物离得越远，它们的尺寸越小。

- 当您远离一种颜色时，它会变得不那么鲜艳。

-当你离开时，细节变得不那么清晰。

结果之一是，从几何角度来看，透视的效果是错误的。构图中的任何一个背景都没有弱化，花样繁多。所有细节都得到了同样的关注，即使是背景中应该更暗的细节。

人们说朴素的艺术很容易识别，因为它没有很多细节。但因为它已成为一种广为人知的风格，许多作品可以归入伪朴素或原始主义类别。自学成才作为一种学习方式正变得越来越流行，因此严格的天真在当今的艺术家身上并不常见。

在世艺术家可能并不总是接受简单的分类，但随着更多尊严信号的出现，这种情况可能会改变。

Contemporary art is a vibrant constellation of artistic expressions. This creative universe encompasses a wide array of mediums, from paintings, sculpture, and photography to drawing, printmaking, textile art, and digital art, each medium a star shining with its own distinct radiance. Artists use diverse supports and materials to bring their visions to life, such as canvas, wood, metal, and even innovative digital canvases for the creation of virtual masterpieces. 

A contemporary painting, for instance, may weave its story through the masterful strokes of acrylic or oil, while a contemporary sculpture might sing its song in the language of stone, bronze, or found objects. The photographic arts capture and manipulate light to produce striking images, while printmaking employs techniques like lithography and screen-printing to produce multiples of a single, impactful image. Textile art plays with fabrics and fibers, whereas digital art pushes the boundaries of creation with innovative technology. 

The allure of contemporary art lies in its boundary-pushing nature, its relentless quest for experimentation and its constant reflection of the evolving human experience. This boundless creativity, coupled with its strong social and personal commentary, makes every piece of contemporary art a unique emblem of its time, a mirror held up to the realities and dreams of our complex world. It whispers to us, moves us, provokes thought, and kindles a deep emotional response, stirring the soul of anyone willing to listen. It is, indeed, the language of emotions and ideas, spoken in the dialect of our era.

Origins and history of contemporary art

The story of contemporary art unfolds in the mid-20th century, marked by seismic shifts in artistic expression. Post-World War II, around the 1950s and 1960s, artists began experimenting beyond traditional confines, challenging the norms of what art could be. This revolutionary epoch birthed myriad new movements and artistic forms such as abstract expressionism, pop art, and minimalism. Paintings, once confined by realism, embraced abstraction, as artists used color and form to express emotions and ideas. Notable periods like the advent of pop art in the late 1950s and early 1960s saw artworks mimicking popular culture and mass media, reflecting society’s shifting focus.

The sculptural arts, too, witnessed a metamorphosis. Sculptors started to experiment with new materials and forms, often creating artworks that interacted with the viewer and the surrounding space, fostering a sense of engagement. Drawing, a timeless practice, also evolved, with artists incorporating innovative techniques and concepts to redefine its role in contemporary art.

Photography, a relatively new medium, emerged as a powerful tool in the contemporary art landscape. Born in the 19th century, it truly came into its own in the latter half of the 20th century, blurring the lines between fine art and documentation. Printmaking, a practice dating back to ancient times, saw renewed interest and experimentation with techniques like lithography, etching, and screen printing gaining prominence.

The realm of textile art expanded dramatically, as artists began to appreciate the versatility and tactile quality of fabric and fibers. Artists began using textiles to challenge the boundaries between fine art, craft, and design. 

The dawn of digital technology in the late 20th century heralded a new age for contemporary art. Digital art emerged as artists started leveraging new technologies to create immersive, interactive experiences, often blurring the line between the virtual and the physical world.

Through these transformative periods, the essence of contemporary art has remained the same: a dynamic, evolving reflection of the times we live in, continually pushing boundaries and embracing the new, always questioning, always exploring.

Evolutions of theses contemporary works in the art market

As we navigate through the 21st century, the dynamic landscape of contemporary art continues to evolve and expand, reflecting our ever-changing world. Contemporary paintings, once primarily confined to two-dimensional canvases, now embrace a multitude of forms and techniques, ranging from mixed media installations to digital creations, each piece a rich a weaving of thoughts, emotions, and narratives. Sculpture, too, has ventured far beyond traditional stone and bronze, with artists incorporating light, sound, and even motion, embodying the ephemerality and flux of the modern world.

Photography, in the hands of contemporary artists, has expanded its horizons, seamlessly blending with digital technology to create breathtaking imagery that challenges our perception of reality. Drawing, as well, has transcended the borders of paper, incorporating multimedia elements and exploratory techniques to redefine its role in the artistic discourse. Printmaking continues to flourish, with contemporary artists using traditional methods in innovative ways to deliver potent social and personal commentaries.

Textile art, once considered a craft, now holds a prominent place in the contemporary art world, with artists using it to explore issues of identity, tradition, and cultural heritage. Meanwhile, digital art, the newest member of the contemporary art family, has revolutionized the way we create and interact with art, presenting immersive experiences that blur the boundary between the virtual and the physical.

These diverse forms of contemporary art hold significant value in the current art market, not only due to their aesthetic appeal but also their ability to encapsulate and communicate complex ideas and emotions. Collectors, curators, and art lovers worldwide seek these works, drawn to their inherent dynamism, their innovative use of materials, and their eloquent expressions of our shared human experience. As a testimonial to our times, these contemporary artworks encapsulate the pulse of our society and the resonance of individual voices, forever etching our collective narrative into the annals of art history.
