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 indispensable book Colin Rhodes surveys the history and reception of Outsider Art - first championed by Dubuffet and the Surrealists, now appreciated by a wide public - while providing fresh insights into the achievements of both major figures and newly discovered artists. From spirit-guided Madge Gill to schizophrenic Adolf Wolfli, these individuals passionately and obsessively pursue the pictorial expression of their vision."
