Naive art first became popular at the end of the 19th century. Until that time; this form of expression; created by untrained artists and characterised by spontaneity and simplicity; enjoyed little recognition from professional artists and art critics. Influenced by primitive arts; naive painting is distinguished by the fluidity of its lines; vivacity; and joyful colours; as well as by its rather clean-cut; simple shapes.Naive art counts among it artists: Henri Rousseau; Seacute;raphine de Senlis; Andreacute; Bauchant; and Camille Bombois. This movement has also found adherents abroad; including such prominent artists as Joan Miroacute;; Guido Vedovato; Niko Pirosmani; and Ivan Generalic.

Absolutely Stunning!By Laurie Ellis-YoungPart gallery; part autobiography/travelogue; Francene Harts new book is an exquisite and delightful opus of her art and the unique experiences that inspired her creations. She has led an extraordinary life; from homesteading in Wisconsin woods to swimming daily with dolphins in Hawaii; and communing in and with sacred sites all over the globe. Each stunning painting has a story and each story adds more meaning. The paintings captivate; not just by their beauty but the sacred symbols within; communicating their power.Without doubt Ms Hart is one of the greatest visionary artists on our planet today. Thank you Bear Co./inner Traditions for publishing this remarkable and important work!
