Question:

Has modernism caused us to become leery of naivete?

can you provide an example from your own life?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Actually, modernism revelled in native art, found art, art brut, etc. Post modernism, with it's fatally overly ironic detachment, reviles naivete, while pretending at a certain level to celebrate it. It percieves anything natural as contemptably or mockably kitschy and corny.
