   Regardless to jigsaws of the fate of the naive art in the future "a strong intent to paint" " would capture people despite all.
   We should finish our tour of the virtual museum of Russian Primitive Art with work by Elena Volkova "Shepherd-boy". The painter tried to convey the image of the meditation of the soul, the picture of a harmonious, an ideal world, the image of new Orpheus, a naive painter, bearing both lost and returned paradise in himself. He confirms the idea of the unity of life and art as the core of the naive art.
