Naive art has made a significant contribution to the artistic culture of many countries. In France, naive art appeared at the beginning of the XX century. First of all, Henri Rousseau's paintings belonged to him. Being a postal employee by profession, he did not receive special education. Nevertheless, his paintings could compete with the works of professional artists, due to the feeling and energy they carried.[1] In Russia, it had a tremendous impact on the artistic language of many contemporary Russian artists — the same thing happened in poetry when the conceptualist Dmitry Prigov and later the radical Miroslav Nemirov mastered the aesthetics of "graphomaniac" writing. Examples include the "naive" pictures of Mitkov, the splint aesthetics of the works of Konstantin Zvezdochetov, the "Black Exhibition" of Martynchikov and the colorful patchwork collages of Ira Waldron (the project "Fac Yu, Dantes").
