  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    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.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between fine and folk art comes down primarily to function. Fine artists produce paintings, prints, sculptures and other artworks to express an idea or concept, communicate a message or tell a story. With folk art, artists are usually more interested in following cultural traditions than self-expression. Pieces of folk art often have more practical uses compared to works of fine art, such as quilts and furniture. Other examples of folk art include pottery, masks, textiles and carvings. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of fine and folk art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
