Creating Connections features over 70 paintings, sculptures,
drawings, and watercolours from the Rosenthal Collection of work by
self-taught artists. This richly illustrated publication explores
the mysterious connections we have with works of art and examines
the journey into the meaning of art for its creators. It looks at
the historic approaches to the creations of self-taught artists and
the problems inherent in their interpretation. It also considers
where we should go to achieve a more equitable and inclusive art
history. The Rosenthal Collection comprises a significant and
notably varied grouping. Not only does it cover a broad mix of
American names including Earl Cunningham, Henry Darger, Thornton
Dial, Bill Traylor, Sister Gertrude Morgan, Ralph Fasanella,
Martín Ramírez, and Janet Sobel, it also includes non-US artists
Carlo Zinelli, Hiroyuki Doi, Adolf Wölfli, Donald Pass, and Nek
Chand among others. Jean Dubuffet, the French painter who famously
promoted their study, is also featured. An illustrated interview by
Julie Aronson with Richard Rosenthal provides special insight into
the collector who has brought together this exceptionally diverse
array of work. Essays by Olivia Sagan and Charles Russell look at
the need for a more nuanced approach to these artists and their
work, at the history of its appreciation (including terminology
such as “Outsider Art”), and examine the work in the context of
autobiography, trauma, connection, and remembering.
