Nearly fifty years after the exhibition "The Wonderful World of the Naïves," organized by Dina Vierny in her gallery on rue Jacob, Culturespaces and the Musée Maillol are once again bringing together works rarely shown to the public since. This exhibition presents the fascinating, unusual, and inexhaustible world of artists known as "naïves" or, to borrow the term of one of their discoverers, "modern primitives." While drawing on the famous works of Le Douanier Rousseau and Séraphine Louis, the exhibition rescues from oblivion a constellation of painters such as Louis Vivin, André Bauchant, Camille Bombois, René Rimbert, Jean Ève, Dominique Peyronnet, and Ferdinand Desnos.
