'"Le Douanier" Rousseau and Pirosmani are the two great figures most identified with Naive Art. Yet, many other artists - some with outstanding talent - took up and developed this new artistic movement.

This book brings together some of the best of those artists, and features the revelation that is Romanian naive painting.

Its author, Natalia Brodskaia, describes the origins of Naive Art and puts into perspective this creative form of artistic expression that has its own special place in the history of pictorial representation.

Natalia Brodskaia is a Curator at the Hermitage, Saint-Petersburg.
