About the Item
Large Naïve acrylic on board attributed to a French artist named Le Bris as the work was bought with another painting signed by the artist. The painting is presented in a gilt wooden baton frame.
Naïve art is often seen as outsider art that is by someone without formal (or little) training or degree. While this was true before the twentieth century, there are now academies for naïve art. Naïve art is now a fully recognized art genre, represented in art galleries worldwide.
The characteristics of naïve art have a challenging relationship to the formal qualities of painting, especially as they tend not to respect the three 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 colours with distance,
3. Decrease of the precision of details with distance.
The results are:
Effects of perspective are geometrically erroneous (distinctive aspect of the works, like the drawing of a child, or the look of medieval painting).
Strong use of pattern, unrefined colour on all the plans of the composition, without enfeeblement in the background.
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 naïve art. It has, however, become such a popular and recognizable style that many examples could be called pseudo-naïve.
