Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): Naïve art is often produced by artists without formal art training and is identifiable by its childlike simplicity. Characteristic features include a disregard for proper perspective, causing a flat, geometric look similar to children’s or medieval artwork. Naïve art typically utilizes strong, unrefined colors through the entire piece, and accurate detail is given equal attention regardless of depth or positioning. This style depicts simplicity in composition rather than subtlety or nuanced complexity.
