The reason I like folk art and folk music so much is because it is the work of the people--know what I mean?! I appreciate all art and music but those two categories hold a special fascination for me. I had a friend who once sneered at the music of Aaron Copland; what a mistake!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-1161954846557359092006-10-27T08:14:00.000-05:002006-10-27T08:14:00.000-05:00Hi Kate,here is what I'reading on wikipedia about ...Hi Kate,<BR/>here is what I'reading on wikipedia about naive art :<BR/>"Naïve art is created by untrained artists. It is characterized by simplicity and a lack of the elements or qualities found in the art of formally trained artists".<BR/><BR/>That's indeed the way that I see this mural... I would ad to this definition the terms of "spontaneity" and "authenticity"...<BR/><BR/>Like Rousseau (the douanier) in France, or Grandma Moses in Vermont<BR/>http://www.benningtonmuseum.com/grandma_moses_gallery.aspxPierrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14475602231117518009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-1161938495778703482006-10-27T03:41:00.000-05:002006-10-27T03:41:00.000-05:00wonderful art accompany with significant message ...wonderful art accompany with significant message :)Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01397130630208565028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-1161912792598661332006-10-26T20:33:00.000-05:002006-10-26T20:33:00.000-05:00Pierre, Can you define "naive painting" for me?
