Document Summary
Stephanie prat"s truth and ariice in the visualizaion of naive peoples: from the ime of john white to the beginning of the 18th century . Ariice: clever or cunning devices or expedients, especially as used to trick or deceive others. I don"t know if i enirely agree with this point; just because white has been inluenced by other arists depicions of the naive americans doesn"t mean he isn"t biased and prejudiced coming into the scene. David beers quinn inds that white"s works is more educaive of the european encounter than ralph. Lane and thomas harriot"s descripions: quinn infers that based on the realism and atenion to details in the painings that white"s aitude towards the indians are well-natured. Quinn"s analysis suggest that all art is inspired by aitudes and emoions of the arists thereby discrediing prat"s earlier statement of white"s art being objecive.
