What is outsider art called now?
1 Answer
What outsider art is called now varies. Because artists who produce outsider art often lack formal training and rely on innate skill, some people refer to their work as visionary art, self-taught art, intuitive art, grassroots art and naïve art. Another term for outsider art is "art brut." French artist Jean Dubuffet introduced the phrase in the 1940s to describe art produced by artists outside the mainstream. Art brut translates literally to "raw art." Shop a wide variety of outsider art on 1stDibs.
