primitivisms
Crude artistic tendencies
Primitivisms are instances of primitive style, technique, or belief.
In art criticism, these are deliberate uses of simple, unrefined forms that evoke early or non-Western artistic traditions: The painting's bold colors and flat perspectives were conscious primitivisms.
The term can also refer to behaviors or ideas considered unsophisticated or belonging to an earlier stage of development.
