Mid-20th Century Outsider Art Automatic Writing Mixed-Media Collage, Framed

About the Item

A vintage outsider art style collage exhibiting (what I believe to be) an example of ‘automatic writing’. From Wikipedia: “Surrealist automatism is a method of art-making in which the artist suppresses conscious control over the making process, allowing the unconscious mind to have great sway. Early 20th-century Dadaists, such as Hans Arp, made some use of this method through chance operations.” From the Tate Museum website: “Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud used free association and automatic drawing or writing to explore the unconscious mind of his patients. Freud’s ideas strongly influenced French poet André Breton who launched the surrealist movement in 1924 with the publication of the Manifesto of Surrealism. In the manifesto, Breton defined surrealism as ‘Pure psychic automatism ... the dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by reason and outside all moral or aesthetic concerns’.” This collage work of art appears to be a copied form of automatic writing.
