Question

Joshua Johnson painted in what type of art style?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. folk

Explanation:

Joshua Johnson was the painter of the style called naive or folk art.

This means he had no formal training but was self-taught and that their art usually lacks formal components (perspective, composition, anatomy, etc.) and focuses more on simplicity and frankness.

The meaning of folk art in this sense means it comes from normal, everyday people, usually in the village environment.

There is not much known about Johnson, but it has been discovered that he had no previous education when it comes to art. As he was a mixed-race man of white father and black, slave mother, he certainly had no chance to pursue the education he needed. All of his paintings have a certain simplicity, stiff faces, and objects that keep repeating themselves.

Today, his work is part of museum collections.
