Naïve art, emerging mainly in the 20th century, is an artistic movement characterized by its simple, unpretentious, and often childlike style. Artists such as Henri Rousseau and Grandma Moses are iconic figures of this movement, creating works with bright colors and naïve forms, often inspired by everyday life and nature. Rejecting academic conventions, Naïve art celebrates spontaneity and individual creativity, often produced by self-taught artists. While criticized by some for its lack of sophistication, it has also been praised for its authenticity and universal accessibility, capturing timeless charm and innocence in its works.
