About Balbo lying on the lawn

The artwork “Balbo lying on the lawn” by Adolf Dietrich was created in 1955 and is an example of Naive Art, specifically within the Primitivism movement. The genre of this artwork is animal painting.

The painting depicts a black dog with distinctive white and tan markings, lying down on a grassy lawn dotted with daisy-like flowers. The dog appears relaxed, with a gentle expression and gaze directed towards the viewer. Its ears are floppy, and its tongue is slightly visible, adding a touch of liveliness to the portrayal. In the background, we can observe a tranquil landscape featuring a vast body of water, suggesting a lake or sea, and a clear sky with a faraway horizon. The use of perspective and details in the landscape complements the serene stance of the dog, creating a harmonious and peaceful scene. The meticulous rendering of the dog’s fur and the detailed grass and flowers exhibit the characteristic simplicity yet precision often found in Naive Art.
