Primitive art has strong practicability. Their pottery, stone tools, sculptures, rock paintings and ground paintings were not created purely for "beauty", but were closely related to the actual life and primitive religious concepts at that time. The living environment of the ancestors was extremely bad, and they were attacked by wild animals and nature at any time, so they had a sense of mystery and worship of natural phenomena and thought they were dominated by God, so witchcraft activities to express this emotion and idea appeared and made it a "totem" many times. At first, the creation of art was only for the purpose of survival, production and religion. This is the most basic level.

The instinct of primitive art is to regard pure abstraction as the only possible pursuit of comfort in a chaotic and uncertain world.

Influence on modern art;

The internal relationship between primitive art and modern art The primitive art and modern art have some fundamental consistency, and they live and die with human beings until one day in the future. Talking about "death" means "beginning", but the exact beginning is difficult to determine. In fact, any viewpoint about the beginning of art is a hypothesis about the emergence of art, and there are different hypotheses in different times. This paper begins to discuss the influence of primitive art on modern art, that is, the powerful expression of primitive art and its image characteristics are easily accepted by modern art, so it is very suitable for the development of modern art, which is the focus of this paper from beginning to end.
