A global history of self-taught artists advocating for a nuanced
understanding of modern and contemporary art often challenged by
the establishment When the art world has paid attention to makers
from outside the cultural establishment, including so-called
outsider and self-taught artists, it has generally been within
limiting categories. Yet these artists, including many women,
people with disabilities, and people of color, have had a
transformative effect on the history of modern art. Responding to
growing interest in these artists, this book offers a nuanced
history of their work and how it has been understood from the early
twentieth century to the present day. Nonconformers includes work
by Henry Darger, Hilma af Klint, and Bill Traylor alongside that of
many other artists who deserve widespread recognition. The book
reviews how self-taught artists influenced key movements of
twentieth-century art and highlights the voices of contemporary
practitioners, offering new interviews with William Scott, Mamadou
Cisse, and George Widener. An international group of contributors
addresses topics such as the development of the Black Folk Art
movement in America and l'Art Brut in France, the creative process
of self-taught artists working outside of traditional studios, and
the themes of figuration, landscape, and abstraction. Global in
scope and with chronological breadth, this alternative narrative is
an essential introduction to the genre long known as "Outsider
Art."
