"Joy of Living - The World of Naive Painting - André Bauchant and Grandma Moses" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Seiji Togo Memorial Sompo Japan Museum of Art
Media: Painting, Art Talk
Like Henri Rousseau, French artist André Bauchant and American artist Grandma Moses are practitioners of naive art, gaining critical attention for their depictions of simple peasant lifestyles rich in nature. Both Bauchant and Moses received no formal art education. They were both self-taught in painting, which they turned to at a late stage in life. Both their works express a straightforward, unaffected attitude towards nature and art. This exhibition presents a total of around 60 works by Bauchant and Moses.
