"Python" $132"
Pitone Tigrato - Python tigris"
Hand Colored Lithograph from Atlante Zoologico Popolare
by Givanni Boschi, Circa 1863-1867 (Italy)
This collection was created during the heyday of this
style.
This lithograph is done in a style very popular with
collectors at the present time and is referred to as
Naive Art. Naive painters to not constitute a group
or a school.
This naïve style is characterized by a deliberate lack
of sophisticated artistic technique. The use of color
is not dictated by faithfulness to reality. While a
tiger in the jungle may have black and gold stripes,
a naïve artist may use black and blue. Subject matter
is childlike or naïve.
The naïve artist is free from artistic traditions. These
artists have free range of imagination and fantasy sometimes
with almost a surrealist effect. The so-called "psychological
perspective" is a prominent feature of naïve painting.
The relative size of objects and figures is determined
by psychological interest without regard to natural
proportions. This results in the perspective often being
askew.
The lithographs published from 1863 - 1867 In Napoli,
Italy as part of the Atlante Zoologico Popolare compiled
by Dott.Giovanni Boschi are a superb example of naïve
style.
