OUTSIDER ART - COLIN RHODES KARTONIERT (TB)

An updated and substantially revised edition of this comprehensive introduction to outsider art
distinguished by its wider international scope and inclusion of global developments since 2000.
Outsider Art is the work produced outside the mainstream of modern art by self-taught 
untrained visionaries  spiritualists  recluses  folk artists  psychiatric patients  prisoners
and others beyond the imposed margins of society and the art market. Coined by Roger Cardinal
in 1972  the term in English derived from Jean Dubuffet's 'Art Brut' - literally 'raw art' 
'uncooked' by culture  unaffected by fashion  unmoved by artistic standards. In this
comprehensive and indispensable guide  Colin Rhodes surveys the history and reception of
Outsider Art - first championed by Dubuffet and the Surrealists  now appreciated by a wider
public - while providing fresh insights into the achievements of both major figures and newly
discovered artists as well as the emergence of specialized studios  as the relationship between
outsider art and the contemporary mainstream art world has developed and become more
intertwined. From spirit-guided Madge Gill to schizophrenic Adolf Wolfli  Rosemarie Koczÿ's
expressions of trauma to Nek Chand's outdoor creations  these individuals passionately and
obsessively pursue the pictorial expression of their vision. Now illustrated in full colour 
with the exception of some archival photographs  this new edition has been substantially
revised with a greater focus on global Outsider art as well as including more recent talents to
the field.
