هنر نائیف

Until the end of the 19th century Naive Art, created by untrained artists and characterised by spontaneity and simplicity, enjoyed little recognition from professional artists and art critics. Naive painting is often distinguished by its clarity of line, vivacity and joyful colours, as well as by its rather clean-cut, simple shapes, as represented by French artists such as Henri Rousseau, Seraphine de Senlis, Andre Bauchant and Camille Bombois. However, this movement has also found adherents elsewhere, including Joan Miro (who was influenced by some of its qualities), Guido Vedovato, Niko Pirosmani, and Ivan Generalic.
