French "Naive" Painters: (LOTS 90-95)
The acclaim and posthumous success of naive painter Henri Rousseau (1844-1910) sparked widespread interest in other so-called 'primitive artists' in Europe and in the United States. In the 1920s in France, Wilhelm Uhde influential dealer of Picasso and Braque during the early Cubist years, discovered and championed a group of French naives. His groundbreaking exhibition Les primitifs modernes in 1926 introduced Bombois and Vivin, as well as André Bauchant (1873-1958) and Séraphine Louis (1864-1942). Their inventive formal solutions--the obsessive attention to detail,
use of multiple perspectives and dramatic color contrasts combine to give their pictures the dreamy, hallucinogenic quality that would influence numerous Twentieth Century artists, most notably the Surrealists.
