The artwork, titled “Family of Rabbits,” is created by Norval Morrisseau, an artist associated with the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This particular piece falls within the genre of animal painting.
The artwork features a vibrant depiction of rabbits, characterized by bold, luminous colors reminiscent of a spiritual or dream-like quality. Against a dynamic red background, the rabbits are portrayed in various sizes with strikingly outlined forms and contrasted hues of yellow, green, blue, and black. Each rabbit is distinctly detailed yet harmoniously integrated into the overall composition, highlighting the artist’s unique style which blends traditional and contemporary elements. The simplicity of the forms and the vivid palette together evoke a sense of primitive innocence and profound connection to nature.
