Primitive art is the childhood period of human art, representing primitive people’s lofty ideals of nature, and its works are the materialized expression of their beliefs. However, in today’s unprecedented prosperity of modern painting, few people talk about primitive art, instead, it starts to fade into oblivion. Primitive art is generally considered crude and rough. In fact, many famous modern artists have absorbed nutrients in primitive art, and finally formed a school of their own. Primitive art has a strong ability of recreation. The implantation of primitive elements and the expression of primitivism are the manifestations of original ecological creation concepts that are rare in modern art.
