Encyclopedic overview

Henri Rousseau's The Repast of the Lion (circa 1907, Metropolitan Museum of Art) is an example of naïve art.

Naïve art is usually defined as visual art that is created by a person who lacks the formal education and training that a professional artist undergoes (in anatomy, art history, technique, perspective, ways of seeing). When this aesthetic is emulated by a trained artist, the result is sometimes called primitivism, pseudo-naïve art, or faux naïve art.
