Farmer paintings are decorative paintings and printed pictures created by farmers. Traditional farmer paintings include farmers' self-printed paper horses, door paintings, god images and auspicious pictures drawn in places like the end of a kang (a heatable brick bed in North China), kitchen ranges and gable walls etc.
In recent years, farmers in some areas began to draw rustic pictures on paper. These works are much loved by rural and urban people alike thanks to their unique and simple aesthetic style. They also attracted attention from abroad.
Farmer paintings have been enjoying booming development since the 1950s, especially those in Huxian and Ansai Counties of Shaanxi, Pizhou and Liuhe of Jiangsu and Jinshan District of Shanghai etc. Paintings created in these areas are the most famous.
