Primitive art

Japanese: 未開美術 - みかいびじゅつ
Primitive art
A term used for the art of so-called uncivilized peoples, it is a translation of the term "primitive art," which can also be translated as "primitive art." Even though it is called uncivilized art, there is no single style, and each ethnic group and society has its own unique development and characteristics. Therefore, the term "tribal art" is used to mean the art of tribal societies, and "so-called" is added before "uncivilized art." Prehistoric Art Tribal Art [Kimura Shigenobu]

いわゆる未開民族の美術に対して用いられる呼称で,〈原始美術〉とも訳されるプリミティブ・アートprimitive artの訳語。未開美術といっても単一の様式があるわけではなく,それぞれの民族,社会によって固有の発展を見せ,固有の性質を有している。そこで,部族社会の美術という意味から,部族美術という呼称が用いられたり,未開美術の前に〈いわゆるso‐called〉をつけて用いられたりする。先史美術部族美術【木村 重信】
