Primitivism is an art style featuring simplified shapes, exaggerated proportions, and raw, earthy textures inspired by traditional folk and tribal crafts.
Flatten the scene: Primitivism strips away academic perspective (techniques used to fake realistic 3D depth) in favor of flat shapes, heavy outlines, and expressive, non-naturalistic color palettes.
Confusable sibling: Not to be confused with cubism — primitivism prioritizes raw, organic simplification inspired by folk art over cubism's fractured geometric facets. Avoid pairing it with terms like "intricate" or "sharp focus," which contradict its deliberately rough, tactile quality.
