Naive painting is a style of art that was started by artists like Henri Rousseau who didn't know much about art. Most of the time, naive art is defined as visual art made by someone who hasn't had the training and education that a professional artist does. When a professional artist tries to copy this style, it is often called "primitivism."
Naive art is usually defined as visual art made by someone who doesn't have the formal training and education that a professional artist does (in anatomy, art history, technique, perspective, ways of seeing). When a trained artist tries to copy this style, it is sometimes called primitivism, pseudo-naive art, or faux naive art.
Unlike folk art, naive art doesn't have to come from a specific popular cultural context or tradition. In fact, at least in advanced economies and since the Printing Revolution, it's impossible not to know about the local fine art tradition, which has spread through popular prints and other media. Naive artists know about "fine art" conventions like graphical perspective and compositional conventions, but they can't or don't use them to their full potential. Outsider art (also called "art brut"), on the other hand, refers to works that come from a similar background but have little to do with the mainstream art world.
Naive art is known for being simple and honest like a child, and this is why it is often copied. These kinds of paintings usually have a flat style of drawing and a simple way of showing depth. Henri Rousseau, a French Post-Impressionist who lived from 1844 to 1910 and was discovered by Pablo Picasso, was one of the most important painters of "naive art."
There has been some disagreement about what the term means and where it "ends" with other terms like folk art and outsider art. Naive art is usually used to describe works of fine art made by self-taught artists, like paintings and sculptures. Folk art, on the other hand, refers to things that can be used in everyday life. But this difference has been argued about. [6] "Provincial" is another word that can be used, especially for paintings and buildings. It is mostly used to describe work by artists who have had some traditional training but whose work falls short of metropolitan or court standards by accident.
People often think of naive art as art made by someone who hasn't had any formal training or a degree, or hasn't had much. Before the 20th century, this was true, but now there are schools for naive art. Naive art is now a fully recognized type of art that can be seen in galleries all over the world.
The features of naive art don't fit well with the formal aspects of painting, especially when the three rules of perspective aren't followed (as described by the Progressive Painters of the Renaissance):
-Objects get smaller as you get farther away,
-Colors become less clear as you get farther away;
-Details become less clear as you get farther away.
Here are the results:
-Geometrically wrong effects of perspective (awkward parts of the works, like how children's drawings or paintings from the Middle Ages look, but that's where the comparison ends);
-Effects of perspective that aren't quite right. Strong use of pattern, unrefined color on all the plans of the composition, without enfeeblement in the background;
-Equal attention to details, including those in the background that should be shaded off.
People say that naive art is easy to spot because it is not complicated. It has become so popular and well-known, though, that many examples could be called "pseudo-naive." "Pseudo naive" or "faux naive" art is the work of an artist who is more imitative or self-conscious and whose work looks more copied than original. "Naive" art is the work of an artist who did not go to art school or academy, like Henri Rousseau or Alfred Wallis.
Since Autodidactism has become more popular as a way to learn in modern times, strict naiveté is not likely to be found in modern artists. Living artists don't always like naive categorizations, but this is likely to change as more dignifying signals become known. There are now museums for naive art in Kecskemét, Hungary; Kovaica, Serbia; Riga, Latvia; Jaen, Spain; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Vicq, France; and Paris. Gary Bunt, Lyle Carbajal, Gabe Langholtz, Gigi Mills, Barbara Olsen, Paine Proffitt, and Alain Thomas are all English-speaking living artists who admit to having a naive style.
"Primitive art" is another term that people who haven't studied art often use to describe it. Historically, though, it has been used more to describe art from cultures that Western academia has deemed "primitive" socially or technologically, like Native American, sub-Saharan African, and Pacific Island art (see Tribal art). This is different from the "primitive"-inspired, self-aware movement called "primitivism." Folk art is another term that is similar to naive art but not the same thing.
There are also the terms "navism" and "primitivism," which are usually used to describe professional painters who use naive art as their style (like Paul Gauguin, Mikhail Larionov, Paul Klee).
No one knows exactly when the first naive artists started making art, but from the very beginning of art to the time of the "Modern Classic," naive artists have left behind clear signs of their creative work. At the very least, naive art has been "official" in the history of 20th-century art since 1912, when an almanac called Der Blaue Reiter was published. Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, who made the almanac, showed six copies of Henri Rousseau's paintings and talked about how they were different from other pictures. Most experts agree, though, that naive art was "discovered" in 1885, when the painter Paul Signac learned about Henri Rousseau's skills and started putting on shows of his work in some of the best galleries in Paris.
Wilhelm Uhde, a German art collector and critic, is known for being the main person in charge of the first Naive Art show, which took place in Paris in 1928. Henri Rousseau, André Bauchant, Camille Bombois, Séraphine Louis, and Louis Vivin all took part. Together, they are known as the Sacred Heart painters.
The Earth Group (Grupa Zemlja) was a group of artists, architects, and thinkers from Croatia who lived and worked in Zagreb from 1929 to 1935. The group was Marxist and was partly based on "Neue Sachlichkeit,"[19] which led to more stylized forms and the start of Naive painting. In the group were painters Krsto Hegedui, Edo Kovaevi, Omer Mujadi, Kamilo Ruika, Ivan Tabakovi, and Oton Postrunik, sculptors Antun Augustini and Frano Krini, and the architect Drago Ibler. The Earth group tried to figure out how to solve social problems. Their program stressed the importance of creative freedom and was against blindly copying styles from other countries. They didn't want to make art just for the sake of art. Instead, they thought it should reflect the real world and the needs of the modern community. The government of the time was getting more and more upset by what was going on at the group's exhibitions, so in 1935, the group was banned.
From about 1930 on, this term was used to describe naive Croatian painters who worked in or around the village of Hlebine, which is near the border with Hungary. At this time, the village was just "a few muddy, winding streets and one-story houses," according to the World Encyclopedia of Naive Art (1984). However, it produced such a great crop of artists that it became almost synonymous with Yugoslav naive painting.
Hlebine is a small, beautiful town in the north of Croatia. In the 1920s, a group of self-taught peasants started to paint in a way that was different and even a little bit revolutionary. Leading intellectuals of the time, like the poet Antun Gustav Mato and Miroslav Krlea, the most famous name in Croatian literature, pushed for this. They wanted a unique national style of art that was not influenced by the West. Krsto Hegedui, a well-known artist from Hlebine, took these ideas and used them to start the Hlebine School of Art in 1930. He did this to find "rural artistic expression" on a national level.
Ivan Generali was the first master of the Hlebine School. He was also the first artist to create a unique style and reach a high level of art. After the Second World War, the next generation of Hlebine painters focused more on stylized, made-up pictures of life in the country. Generali stayed the most important person and helped other artists, including his son Josip Generali, get started. With the 1952 Venice Biennale and shows in Brazil and Belgium, the Hlebine school became known all over the world.
Some of the best known naive artists are Dragan Gaži, Ivan Generalić, Josip Generalić, Krsto Hegedušić, Mijo Kovačić, Ivan Lacković-Croata, Franjo Mraz, Ivan Večenaj and Mirko Virius.
Naive art is made up of simple, childlike techniques and ideas. Because of this, modernists who don't like what they see as the fake sophistication of work made in the traditional system have praised it. Henri Rousseau is the best-known naive artist working today, so we'll start with one of his works.
The young girl has been taken to a jungle, where a local musician plays a brass instrument and sings to her. Yadwigha, who is half hidden by the jungle's shadows, reaches out to the musician while looking out over a beautiful view of jungle greenery with lotus petals, parrots, monkeys, an elephant, two lions, and a snake. The snake coming toward the scene in the lower right corner of the picture makes me think of the Garden of Eden. A pink snake moves through the bushes. Its shape, which is like a snake, looks like a woman's legs and hips.
In this piece of art, a naked model is sitting on a sofa, which brings together the familiar and the strange. The painting "The Dream" shows why the Surrealists liked Rousseau's work. It has amazing attention to detail, bright colors, and a strange mix of images.
At least 22 different shades of green were used to paint the jungle plants. Poet and art critic Guillaume Apollinaire was blown away by the work. "The painting is absolutely gorgeous!" he exclaimed. I don't think anyone will laugh this year."
This picture looks like a dream because the only thing in it is a naked woman lying on a sofa in the tropics. But it's not clear if the art shows Yadwigha's dream or Rousseau's. But one of the best things about the picture is how open it is to different interpretations. Rousseau's trips to the natural history museum and the Jardin des Plantes in Paris gave him ideas for this piece, which has a lush jungle, wild animals, and a mysterious horn player. "When I'm in these hothouses and see strange plants from other places, it feels like I'm entering a dream," the artist said of his visits.
The main idea behind Alfred Wallis's Death Ship is a huge black ship with dark gray steam billowing from it. Five sailors in black suits and caps can be seen as the ship moves over icy white water. This picture, which has a good name, is a great example of the kind of work Wallis did in his later years. They show how sad the artist was feeling at the time.
Wallis made these paintings while he was alone and his eyesight was getting worse and his mind was getting worse. No one knows for sure when Wallis finished making these last changes. They were made either while Wallis was living in the Madron poorhouse or just before he was sent there, which was something he had been afraid of for a long time. Death Ship disproves the idea that Wallis couldn't use deep and complicated symbolism in his work because he was a "naive" artist. The ship is a sign of death and destruction, which is more of a metaphor than a literal representation of the things Wallis paints. It is a mix of the feelings Wallis had when he was at sea and when he was near the coast of St. Ives.
After she was badly hurt in a car accident when she was 18, most of Frida Kahlo's self-portraits are about her physical and mental pain. As her health got worse, this theme came back and got much stronger as her life came to an end. Her graphic pictures of herself in pain show how hard it was for her to deal with physical problems and pain. "The Broken Column," a painting by Kahlo, was made soon after she had surgery on her back.
This was just one of many times she had to go to the doctor to fix problems caused by an injury she had in the past. Kahlo had to wear a steel corset while painting, which was different from the plaster casts she had worn before. In the picture, Kahlo is standing in a broken, empty place that looks like it has been through as much trouble and tragedy as she has. Due to a deep, jagged crack that runs the length of her almost-naked body, her spine looks like a broken Ionic stone column. Her spinal column looks like it's about to break, especially at the bottom. Nails of different sizes go through her whole body and face, making her pain even worse. She has a lot of tears running down her cheeks.
Kahlo painted herself naked at first, except for the medical support girdle she wears. Then she added a white covering that looks like it came from a hospital to cover her bottom half. Her breasts are showing, and even though her body has been cut up, her sensuality shines through. The way nails and sheets are shown also has strong echoes of the Christian symbol of martyrdom. Even though she is in pain, Kahlo's face shows that she is strong and will not give up. Even though her body has been hurt and tortured, it is clear that her spirit has not been hurt.
This is the end of our look at Naive art, a style that looks simple and childlike. This word is used to describe paintings made in cultures that are more or less advanced but don't have the traditional skills to draw things. The colors are bright and not natural, the view isn't scientific, and the meaning is literal or childish.

Współczesne malarstwo naiwne zyskuje popularność wśród miłośników sztuki i kolekcjonerów na całym świecie. Te unikalne i oryginalne Dzieła są tworzone przez samouków, którzy nie otrzymali żadnego formalnego szkolenia artystycznego. Używają różnych nośników i materiałów, takich jak płótno, drewno, papier, a czasem materiały z recyklingu. Artyści używają jasnych kolorów, pogrubionych linii i prostych kształtów, aby stworzyć swoje dzieła, które charakteryzują się dziecinnością i prymitywnym stylem.
Współczesne Malarstwo Naive Art, znane również jako Sztuka Outsider lub Art Brut, powstało pod koniec XX wieku jako odpowiedź na tradycyjne sztuki akademickie.
Współczesne Malarstwo Naiwne przez ostatnie lata przeszło ewolucję, ponieważ artyści zaczęli eksplorować nowe techniki i style. Te prace często posiadają żywe kolory, śmiałe linie i dziecięce poczucie zdumienia, co może wywoływać uczucie nostalgii i niewinności. W rezultacie te obrazy stały się coraz bardziej popularne na rynku sztuki współczesnej, gdzie kolekcjonerzy i entuzjaści szukają unikalnych i ekspresyjnych dzieł. Niektórzy artyści wprowadzili również elementy społecznej lub politycznej krytyki do swojej pracy, dodając głębszą warstwę znaczenia i istotności do swoich twórczych dzieł. Ogólnie rzecz biorąc, ewoluujący charakter współczesnego Malarstwa Naiwnego odzwierciedla różnorodność i kreatywność sztuki współczesnej oraz podkreśla wagę przyjmowania nowych pomysłów i technik w ciągle zmieniającym się świecie sztuki.
Współcześni artyści znani ze swoich współczesnych obrazów sztuki naiwnej obejmują artystów prymitywistycznych, artystów outsiderów, malarzy sztuki ludowej i artystów samouków.
Jednym takim artystą jest James Castle, samouk, który stworzył unikalny świat rysunków, obrazów i konstrukcji wykonanych z odnalezionych przedmiotów. Sztuka Castle’a znana jest z ekspresywnego użycia materiałów oraz zdolności do uchwycenia piękna codziennego życia.Kolejnym znanym artystą jest Babcia Moses, która zaczęła malować w wieku 76 lat i zdobyła międzynarodowe uznanie za swoje przedstawienia życia wiejskiego. Jej sztuka charakteryzuje się prostymi formami, śmiałymi kolorami i uroczymi opowieściami.
Jean-Michel Basquiat był artystą outsiderem, który stosował surowy, ekspresyjny styl, aby badać tematy rasy, tożsamości i władzy. Jego obrazy często zawierają śmiałe, graficzne obrazy i tekst, które odzwierciedlają jego doświadczenia jako czarnoskórego artysty w Stanach Zjednoczonych.
Ostatecznie, Henry Darger to artysta prymitywistyczny, który stworzył epicką narrację w swoich obrazach, rysunkach i tekstach. Jego prace często przedstawiają fantastyczne światy zamieszkane przez dziecięce postacie angażujące się w epickie bitwy przeciwko siłom zła.
Ci artyści reprezentują różnorodne style i podejścia do malarstwa naiwnego, ale wszyscy mają wspólny cel - wyrażanie swoich unikalnych perspektyw poprzez sztukę.
Współczesne obrazy sztuki naiwnej zyskały ogromną popularność w ostatnim czasie ze względu na swoją prostotę, a jednocześnie fascynującą naturę. Oto kilka znanych dzieł sztuki i ich krótkie opisy:
"The Hug" autorstwa Jivya Soma Mashe (2007) przedstawia wzruszający moment między matką a dzieckiem, uchwycony w jaskrawych kolorach i odważnych liniach.
"The Village" autorstwa Séraphine Louis (1928) przedstawia kolorową scenę z wioski z misternymi detalami i wzorami, odzwierciedlającą miłość artystki do natury.
"The Dream" autorstwa Grandma Moses (1945) to whimsical artwork przedstawiające scenę, jak z marzeń, wioski z kościołem i rzeką, namalowaną w stylu dziecinnym.
"The Wedding" autorstwa Nikifora Krynickiego (1968) prezentuje wibracyjną ceremonię ślubną w tradycyjnej polskiej wiosce, z misternymi detalami i zabawnym użyciem kolorów.
"The Sunflowers" autorstwa Henri Rousseau (1909) to piękne arcydzieło przedstawiające grupę słoneczników w dżunglowym otoczeniu, namalowane z dziecinną niewinnością i poczuciem zdumienia.
Ogólnie rzecz biorąc, współczesne malarstwo naiwne oferuje unikalną perspektywę na świat poprzez swoją prostotę, urok oraz żywe kolory.
