Answer 2

A. primitivism

Step-by-step explanation:

The artistic movement known as primitivism is inspired by the self-conscious. Another term related to (but not completely synonymous with) naive art is folk art.

There are also the terms “naïvism” and “primitivism” that are commonly applied to professional painters working in the naive art style (such as Paul Gauguin, Mikhail Larionov, Henry Russeau, Paul Klee).

Naive artists are often referred to as modern primitives. The category also overlaps with what is called marginal art or, in France, art brüt. This includes children's art as well as art made by people on the fringes of society, such as prisoners and the mentally ill.
