(artrepublic.com) Na\u00efve Art is characterised by a simple unsophisticated childlike composition and execution. It is valued by modern artists for its purity, simplicity and its opposition to the traditional art system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objects in Na\u00efve Art can appear flattened onto the surface of the canvas and their size may not be accurate to that of real life ofr proportional to things around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na\u00efve artists include Henri Rousseau who held down a full time job throughout his paintinfg career and the St Ives fisherman Alfred Wallis who painted on any objects he found in his house. Other artists who’s work is considered Na\u00efve are LS Lowry and Edward Hicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
