Neo-primitivism
Neo-primitivism was a Russian art movement that took its name from the 31-page pamphlet Neo-primitivizm, by AleksandrShevchenko (1913). It is considered a type of avant-garde movement and is proposed as a new style of modern painting which fuses elements of Cézanne, Cubism, and Futurism with traditional Russian 'folk art' conventions and motifs, notably the Russian icon and the lubok.
