They may seem the same but I've seen some articles that suggest they're not. The sad thing is, these articles do not really explain why.
Please help me. THANKS a lot.

primitivism:
1. The condition or quality of being primitive.
2. The style characteristic of a primitive artist.
3.
1. A belief that it is best to live simply and in a natural environment.
2. A belief that the acquisitions of civilization are evil or that the earliest period of human history was the best.
(this is the definition for primitive art given to me by my art history professors at ksu in my own words)
Primitive art is usually used when referring to art that isn't as culturally developed/superior. This term, however, is NOT politically correct anymore. It was often used to refer to African Art until the last 10-20 years. So, it is really a snotty way to look down your nose at an art style.

PRIMITIVE ART is that which was created either in very early times or even in recent times by societies and cultures that are themselves still very primitive.. PRIMITIVISM, on the other hand, refers to art created in advanced societies in modern times but where the art itself is very childlike, simplistic, and totally unsophisticated.

Primitive art is art produced by primitive people - cave paintings for example.
Primitivism is art produced by modern artists which attempts to reproduce the characteristics of primitive art - for eample Gaugin.
