Outsider Art public - created 02/22/04

A community to discuss outsider art

Outsider Art has become a catch-all phrase for art done by people outside the mainstream. It was coined by art critic Roger Cardinal in 1972 as an English synonym for Art Brut. Art Brut literally means "Raw Art". (The term Outsider was originally associated with Albert Camus's novel The Outsider, which is the diary of a deeply alienated man.)

Outsider Art is defined by the situation of the artist who makes it. The main characteristics of an Outsider Artist are that they are typically self-taught; they have little or no contact with the mainstream art world; they are frequently on the margins of society. Often these outsiders are believed to suffer from mental illness.
