The term outsider art was coined by art critic Roger Cardinal in 1972 as an English synonym for art brut (French: [aʁ bʁyt], "raw art" or "rough art"), a label created by French artist Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the boundaries of official culture; Dubuffet focused particularly on art by insane-asylum inmates. While Dubuffet's term is quite specific, the English term "outsider art" is often applied more broadly, to include certain self-taught or Naïve art makers who were never institutionalized. Typically, those labeled as outsider artists have little or no contact with the mainstream art world or art institutions. In many cases, their work is discovered only after their deaths. Often, outsider art illustrates extreme mental states, unconventional ideas, or elaborate fantasy worlds. Outsider art has emerged as a successful art marketing category (an annual Outsider Art Fair has taken place in New York since 1992). The term is sometimes misapplied as a catch-all marketing label for art created by people outside the mainstream "art world," regardless of their circumstances or the content of their work. In 1991, the first and only such organization dedicated to the study, exhibition and promotion of outsider art was formed in Chicago: Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art. Chicago is often recognized for its concentration of self taught and outsider artists, among them -- Henry Darger, Joseph Yoakum, Lee Godie, William Dawson, David Philpot, and Wesley Willis. Intuit maintains a non-profit museum, open to the public, which features exhibitions of art by intuitive, outsider, and self taught artists. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Neith Nevelson is a great American artist. Yet, she is largely marginalized by the art-world. Why is that? Q. American artist, Neith Nevelson, born in New York City in 1946, is an artist whom I consider to be genius-like. Yet, she has always been looked down upon by respected galleries and art-critics. Since Neith is the granddaughter of the great Louise Nevelson (1899-1988), I feel that part of this marginalization has to do with the facile connection that is often made between both Nevelsons, consisting of making Neith a copy-cat of Louise. Yet, anyone who is familiar with either of their work, will immediately recognize how dissimilar both of their arts are. Why is Neith Nevelson still considered an Outsider despite what I consider to be her "raw talent," ingenuity, and powerful artistic expression? Asked by Eclectic Art Lover - Sun May 14 11:30:26 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Because the established art world is so corrupt and has no confidence that their public can handle 2 Nevelsons. If they realized how dedicated and prolific Neith is they might realize that they could make money with her which is all that they apparently care about. Every fine artist needs a patron that does not stifle their creativity. Answered by simpsn - Sun May 21 01:23:01 2006 William Thompson, an artist.? Q. Here's a link to an incredible artist.

Q. I need some opinions please! Okay I have been having this discussion way too long with a couple of people and it seems to go no where. So I decided to ask all of you. If someone has two Associates Degrees and one Bachelor's Degree all in separate fields/majors how many degrees do they have? I feel I have three degrees and my boyfriend and his friend say I have one because the Bachelor's overpowers the other two. What do you think? Bachelors in Graphic Design: 2005 Associate as a Webmaster: 2002 Associate in Graphic Arts: 2000 In the end it does not matter for I am now working as a web designer but I need outsiders thoughts. Asked by KG - Tue Nov 28 13:28:10 2006 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. You have fulfilled the requirements of three degrees. Therefore, you have three degrees. I am not even sure how there can be an argument Answered by shoelace - Tue Nov 28 13:30:58 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Outsider Art"
