The term "primitive art" has been
used in a variety of ways to describe works and styles of art. One way that
this term has been used is to describe the early period within the development
of a certain style of art. Another way that this term has been used is to
describe artists who have received little professional training and who
demonstrate a nontraditional naivete in their work.
A wonderful example of this second type of
primitive artist is Grandma Moses who spent all her life living on a farm and
working at tasks normally associated with farm life. She did not begin painting
until she reached the age of seventy-six, when she switched to painting from
embroidery because the arthritis in her hands made embroidery too difficult.
Totally without formal education in art, she began creating panoramic images of
everyday life on the farm that have achieved international fame.
