Nave art

Nave art is a classification of art that is often characterized by a childlike simplicity in its subject matter and technique. While many nave artists appear, from their works, to have little or no formal art training, this is often not true. The words "nave" and "primitive" are regarded as pejorativesand are, therefore, avoided by many.

Characteristics [edit]
The term nave art is often seen as outsider art which is without a formal (or little) training or degree. While this was true before the twentieth century, there are now academies for nave art. Nave art is now a fully recognized art genre, represented in art galleries worldwide. The characteristics of nave art are an awkward relationship to the formal qualities of painting. Especially non-respect of the 3 rules of the perspective (such as defined by the Progressive Painters of the Renaissance) : 1. decrease of the size of objects proportionally with distance, 2. muting of colors with distance, 3. decrease of the precision of details with distance, The results are : 1. effects of perspective geometrically erroneous (awkward aspect of the works, children's drawings look, or medieval painting look, but the comparison stops there) 2. strong use of pattern, unrefined color on all the plans of the composition, without enfeeblement in the background, 3. an equal accuracy brought to details, including those of the background which should be shaded off. Simplicity rather than subtlety are all supposed markers of nave art. It has, however, become such a popular and recognizable style that many examples could be called pseudo-nave. Whereas nave art ideally describes the work of an artist who did not receive formal education in an art school or academy, for example Henri Rousseau or Alfred Wallis, 'pseudo nave' or 'faux nave' art describes the work of an artist working in a more imitative or self-conscious mode and whose work can be seen as more imitative than original. "Primitive art" is another term often applied to art by those without formal training, but is historically more often applied to work from certain cultures that have been judged socially or technologically "primitive" by Western academia, such as Native American, subsaharan African or Pacific Island art (see Tribal art). This is distinguished from the self-conscious, "primitive" inspired movement primitivism. Another term related to (but not completely synonymous with) nave art is folk art. There also exist the terms "navism" and "primitivism" which are usually applied to professional [3] painters working in the style of nave art (like Paul Gauguin, Mikhail Larionov, Paul Klee).
