Synopsis:
Creative art is not confined to professional circles. One of the most striking examples of an upsurge of artistic creativity outside the normal spheres of recognition is neo-primitive or naive art.

- from the Introduction
There follows 40 examples of primitive art, complete with a short biography of the artist and a brief understanding of the relevant picture.
