The artwork titled “Farm Family” was created by William H. Johnson in 1940. It belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is categorized as genre painting.
The artwork features a farm scene that is characterized by its vivid colors and simplified forms, typical of the Naïve Art style. A family is depicted prominently within the composition, standing amidst farming tools and a modest structure, likely their home. Dominated by bright yellows, greens, and reds, the scene evokes a sense of rural life and community. The figures, rendered in bold, flat areas of color, reflect a sense of warmth and unity, despite the apparent simplicity of their surroundings. The overall composition is vibrant and dynamic, with elements such as trees, tools, and the family members blending seamlessly to create a cohesive portrayal of farm life.
