    One of my favorite piece of art is also regarded as naive art, even though it is a quite unique one, it's the Palais idéal [0] from Cheval.

    In case you were wondering like me, this is visual art by an artist without formal training - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Na%C3%AFve_art

      Thanks. The website itself has the most infuriatingly long and vague description (Menu->Naive art?)

    This seems to be fairly good. It's a different style than mine, but I wish them well.

    For fairly bad, may we present MOBA?

    My problem with Naive Art is that it is quite repetitive and limited.

    It is a bit like punk rock. After you've heard one or 2 songs from Ramones then you've heard them all. Surely, Ramones, once in a while, can be fun. But after the 3rd song I feel that all they're saying is "we wish we were the Beatles".

    Similarly, naive art can be fun, almost as much as Brueghel. But after the 100th 3rd World village with rivers and palm trees I just want to go back to Rembrandt.

    Naive art(I dont think it is naive) is exceptionally good, I really liked it. I have asked ChatGPT to generate image in the style of great artist Niko Pirosmani paintings. The ouput looks amazing, moody aesthetics.

      I don't get this comment by a new account and I try to keep this reply in the spirit of HN without harsh critic and open mind but it's like saying real lemonade is awesome, I just got Tang delivered by Doordash.

        Sorry, my comment was very ambiguous and seems to have backfired. I want to clarify that I'm not an artist by any means. A few months ago, I saw people littering a beautiful beach. Last week, I explored the paintings of Niko Pirosmani, and they're really good. His use of thick black creates a unique aesthetic that I really liked. When I saw the HN link, I remembered that scene and wondered what it would look like in Pirosmani's style. I know using AI for this isn't ideal, but I'm not an artist myself,I just wanted to visualize it.
