Description

'Outsider art' is work produced outside the mainstream of modern art by self-taught visionaries, spiritualists, eccentrics, recluses, psychiatric patients, criminals, and others beyond the perceived margins of society. Coined in 1972 the term is derived from 'art brut', which the artist Jean Dubuffet began promoting just after the Second World War. Both focus on the idea of a 'raw', untaught creativity, which is still a contentious and much-debated issue. Is this a natural phenomenon, requiring only the right circumstances (isolation or alienation) to be revealed; or is it more like a mirage projected by the very culture it is supposed to be escaping from?
