Defining Outsider Art

WHAT IS - Outsider Art

And good to know there are exhibitions taking place now in such terrific venues :)

Check out my links above for Hotel le A & Center 548. Love what's shaping up there....

I love outsider art.

Ditto :)

If you have a look at some of the rooms in the Paris hotel...you'll see a variety of exceptionally cool pieces.

Wow, nice. I'm currently reading "Art Brut, the Origins of Outsider Art" by Lucienne Peiry. Pretty good book. I have a couple of others, but this one is more comprehensive.

I love outsider artist's self-made environments as well. Although this current book concentrates more on two dimensional art. Not much sculpture or environments.

Outsider art has such a curiosity factor that draws you in. You want to know all about the artists and what compelled them to create for such pure and honest reasons.

@ Edward F - no it doesn't and no I don't.
