原始主义

原始主義是一種崇尚“原始”體驗的西方美學思潮。它提倡在現代藝術中引入原始（非西方的、史前的）事物，如高更繪製的大量塔希提主題作品Artspoke, Robert Atkins, 1993, 。它本質上是一種烏托邦思想，認為天然的才是最好的A. O. Lovejoy and George Boas, Primitivism and Related Ideas in Antiquity (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins Press, 1935).。雖然在藝術上產生了不少碩果，原始主義也因固化外國“野蠻人”的形象、美化殖民統治而遭受批評See especially Marianna Torgovnick. Gone primitive: Savage intellects, Modern lives (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1991).。一些素人藝術和民間藝術作品，如亨利·卢梭、哈伊尔·拉里奥诺夫和保罗·克利等人的作品也被劃入原始主義的範疇。
