The leaders of the movement were Henri Matisse and André Derain.Primitivism: In visual art, there are several meanings to the term primitivism. One use refers to art by either prehistoric or in general non-Western peoples. In this use, such words as primitive or primitivism might appear in quotes. This is to suggest inherent inaccuracy or ethnocentricity. Another type of primitivism is the work done by artists who might be self-taught. "Naive" might be more correct terminology in this instance. Yet a third instance of primitive refers to the borrowing of visual forms from non-Western or prehistoric peoples. An example would be Paul Gauguin's inclusion of Tahitian motifs in paintings. Borrowings from primitive art has been important to the development of modern art.
