Synopsis
“Outsider art” is the name given to the idiosyncratic work of self-taught creators who are driven to use their own invented visual language to bring forth images from their imaginations. It is outside the continuum of art history, outside the boundaries of art recognized by established art institutions, and outside the collective discourse of the mainstream art world. This book examines the underlying biases, ideologies, and social factors that inform the various approaches to outsider art, including myths surrounding mental illness, movements toward social inclusion, and movements away from the marginalizing effect of labels. Most importantly, Outsider Art of Canada explores how we think about art and who is entitled to call themselves an artist. In this survey dedicated to outsider art in Canada, the first of its kind, the artists introduced have much to tell us about their need to create, unapologetically and without regard to public opinion.

Outsider Art of Canada (Hardcover)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Outsider art reflects a territory of cultural production that gives credence to creative practices independent of formal training, recognised art movements, and current trends. Outsider art is said to exist only because of cultural elitism and class differences where the margins are defined by the centre. Thus, outsider artists are dismissed twice: first, by those who hold status and power, and second, by the mainstream art world. Their marginalised social status, often due to mental health issues, has led to their exclusion from the world of contemporary art. This book challenges viewers to relinquish myths and stereotypes about the source of creativity and to embrace the work of self-taught creators who are compelled to express themselves in unique ways. Most importantly, they will be asked to consider the role of art institutions in shaping their views on art. This volume addresses issues of social justice, diversity, and inclusion in the art world. AUTHOR: Linda Ranaldi has been exploring outsider art for many years, both academically and personally, while working as a writer and editor in the legal field. She has published articles in various outsider art journals. She lives in Vancouver, Canada, but is pretty sure she also lives a more extraordinary life in a parallel universe. 100 colour illustrations This book, dedicated to expressions of Outsider Art made in Canada, challenges viewers to relinquish myths and stereotypes about the source of creativity and to embrace the work of self-taught creators who are compelled to express themselves in unique ways.
