Publisher's Synopsis
"Effie Michelis can be chosen as an example of a naive painter who challenges the notion that this form of art is cultivated only by simple and naive individuals. In my opinion, based on extensive research related to my book on naivety, naivism in art is a result of a naive, artistic lineage. The naive artist expresses themselves within the context of this lineage, irrespective of intelligence, education, social position, and activity." Professor Stelios Ludakes, from the introduction
