Ownership Signature of Roger Cardinal, Signed Presentation to Cardinal from Peter Inch on title page. VG bright tight copy in publishers cloth in like dustjacket with slight (even) fading to the spine. 56pp. Illustrated throughout. 1st edition. Roger Cardinal was one of Britains most distinguished art historians, best known for defining what is generally known as Outsider Art - that is, art by people with no formal training. He began his career as a lecturer at the French department of the University of Manitoba, Canada, subsequently moving to Warwick University and finally to the University of Kent at Canterbury, where he taught for fifty years and held a professorship.Roger Cardinal was not only a leading authority on Outsider Art, but also on Surrealism. He was a prolific writer and a master of literary style. His eloquent, percipient writings include several books on a wide range of subjects such as Outsider Art (1972), German Romantics in Context (1975) Figures of Reality (1981), Expressionism (1984), The Landscape Vision of Paul Nash (1989), The Cultures of Collecting (1994), and Kurt Schwitters (2011). He also acted as a curator and was a regular contributor to art-historical publications.CardinalĠs interest in art lay in its margins - the neurodiverse, psychotic, uneducated, autistic, self-taught and ÔotherĠ. His fascination with artists such as the violently psychotic Adolf Wlfli lay in their creativity rather than in the sensationalism of their lives. Certainly, it did not lie in the resale value of their work. That outsider art should have its own multimillion-dollar annual fair in New York and specialist departments at ChristieĠs auctioneers ran quite contrary to CardinalĠs thinking.
