Haitian art has been traditionally divided into two distinctive genres: Naïves (pejoratively referred to as Primitives) and Moderns. Naïve is derived from folk art traditions, and the artists typically do not have any formal training, resulting in an artistic innocence and independence from academic tradition. The subjects are depicted in the traditional forms of Vaudou (Voodoo), often simple village and market scenes, rendered in vivid colors, occasionally including detailed historic settings, the lush jungle, and religious imagery. Conversely, Moderns are schooled artists who have examined and integrated aspects of various international painting styles, particularly the French art tradition, and may borrow from the past and present indiscriminately. Moderns often feature similar subjects of Haitian art as the Naïve, including landscapes, history and current events, and various aspects of Haitian culture. However, the Moderns also draw inspiration from surrealism, pointillism, expressionism, impressionism and abstract art.
