Larkin, David.

Innocent Art. Introduction and Biofraphical Notes by Martin Green. Picture research by Celestine Dars.

New York, Ballantin Books, 1974. 30cm. Original Softcover. Secondhand book in very good condition.

The philistine confronted by a late Picasso says, ‘My child could do as good as that.’ Confronted by innocent art he is silenced. It is impossible to imitate innocence, and the innocent artist is not childish, he is childlike, uncorrupted. When the innocent eye paints what he sees, either in front of him or in his imagination, the image is transferred directly from his consciousness to the canvas with out being filtered. The professional has to master a technique in order to free himself, the innocent artist is born free. (Publishers information).
