      An artist buddy of mine had that criticism about the recent acclaim for Vivian Maier. As compelling and (somewhat) tragic as her story is, I had to disagree with his cynicism. Her photography was GREAT, and it was only providence that it was ever found--though a loss that she wasn't known when she was alive.

      So many amateurs grow up to go to college where they are taught to be deep philosophers of life.
      They get big heads for doing virtually nothing but school work like they're supposed to.
      While there is probably some talent, so many of them are big headed and unbearable. Everything becomes unbearably over complicated and they call that their inner artist.
      Outsiders just do what they know they want to do, and the majority of the public won't see the legitimacy in their talents.
      Amateurs can also be talented individuals, but they try so hard to be what they aren't and offend people for the sake of an ego boost.
      Long explanation.

      Art became much more about how much we can bend the word art. Art is simply the expression of the Individual, and that got lost, people no longer express themselfs. Its much more about, how much random stuff we can sell to old rich people. That is the main reason art is still so misunderstood, the main reason its not beeing taken serious by most people, the main reason people think that good art is subjective. It is not, theres no good or bad art, just authentic and inauthentic. If your art is about how much you can do, and still get away with, it isnt about you or your reality, emotions, or the simple expression of your existence. Its just for financial gain. Art died because of this "modern" nonsense. Loved the documentary and the Insight to theese peoples lifes, expressing themselfs!

    the fact that the last artist portrays what he wants his life to be and not what he sees: a world full of peace and quiet where he can be healthy and thrive with his family - something so simple and mundane for a lot of people, but unachievable for him, is heartbreaking. you know all the joy in his art is just a dream for him

    The part where the guys painting on the wall and he’s like “see this thing? It’s from my brain. Beautiful isn’t it?” I really felt that. That’s exactly how it feels making art. You start working on a thing and all of a sudden there’s this unique thing forming that wasn’t there before and it’s there now because you made it and it came from you. You can’t help but feel this mixture of pride and wonderment that such images came out of your own head.

    This is a fantastic documentary. But in it, I notice several people express a dichotomy between artists 'compelled' to create and ones who 'do it for money'. As an artist I am sickened if I don't create; I AM compelled; *but* I also have to eat and pay rent and buy a minimum of supplies. Not every artist has someone caring for their needs. There comes a point where you are forced to make it into a 'business' to some extent or you may not be able to sustain it at all. I bet countless gifted, natural artists ended up unable to create because they didn't manage to make it work and they didn't have family or support to fall back on. I find the common 'mythos' that artists who don't earn money/fame are somehow truer than the ones who yearn to make a living is really detrimental to all of them. Artists are all humans first and have the exact same basic needs as others. Inspiration IS magical and yet does not feed us or pay bills.

    • @divertissementmonas
      @divertissementmonas 6 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      What you speak of is actually the myth created by the cultural movement of Romanticism. This movement which began in the late 18th century has shaped the way we think about art and the artist. "Value" was placed on qualities such as imagination, creativity, spontaneity, originality and self-expression. Later on more stress was placed in the artists commitment to his own vision. Then of course what followed was his (never female) alienation from society, his melancholy and madness associated to his 'genius'. He became the 'outsider' and his fate is to die a martyr to art…
      Three examples of artists appropriating this identity:- Delacroix's "Tasso in the Hospital of Saint Anna, Ferrara" (1874) and James Barry's "Self-Portrait as Timanthes, head" (1790). Also Francisco Goya's "Yard with Lunatics" (1794).
      What makes it so powerful where even in todays society people still subscribe to it, is its representation of personal autonomy and creative fulfilment which is elusive to everybody… not just artists.

      John Castle - Indeed. Art history is a part of my life unless you are suggesting there is a gap or space between them… Unfortunately (or fortunately) human life span is very short. It is therefore necessary to learn from others experiences and testimonies, from the past and present if there is to be any 'knowledge' at all.

    I really miss the Museum of Everything. I also loved the Folk Art Museum which tended to travel around the UK and have pop up exhibitions. Why London doesn't have a dedicated folk art, history and outsider art museum space I will NEVER understand. It's a shameful thing and enormously disappointing. Why don't any rich art folks, people responsible for attracting government funding and general fundraisers and academic bodies alike seem to think this empty space in our art and cultural world worthy of immediate remedy?

    From my understanding, at the root of their sincerity for a portion of these artists is developing a world in which they’re included having been rejected by the one they currently live in. Where their shackles are torn and freedom is limitless; this overwhelming sensation pours out of them so much so that it gets to the essence of art. It’s a blessing to be introduced to this other side of a coin and to know it’s equally gleaming as bright as it’s more well known facade if not more!

    It is sad if not infuriating to think that outsider art is only appreciated, validated within the 'art scene' in so far as when the elite and wealthy dilettantes deem it so. You see this pattern repeated throughout history. Van Gogh only sold one painting in his lifetime and was almost professionally forgotten, yet a century and a half later his paintings are worth millions and you cannot find an art history book that does not mention his name. It is unfortunate to think that our contemporary art scene is still primarily based on monetary gain and prestige. That is why it is important to support local artists and galleries....

    The one thing that this wonderful video does not show, unfortunately, is how many other artists are out there who are not mentally or physically challenged in any way. With zero knowledge about art history and no schooling in art, they still make amazing and outstanding art that is unaffected by the art world. I hope that people realize that the term "outsider" does not only apply to those with some kind of mental challenge, there are thousands of outsider artists besides the type mostly shown here. The video is great, but leaves out a huge swath of artists.

    Where would the history of creativity be without mental illness? What "they" see, many of us will never see. But at least we have an opportunity to be exposed to their work. A privilege in and of itself. I just pray that they aren't exploited by greedy others.

    I want a galley show in New York.
    I have schizoaffective disoder, that's bipolar with a lot of hallucinations. I hate the term "outsider art". I have always found it to be a terrible snobby expression especially when applied to those with an illness. Why should someone's diagnosis devalue their work???
    In addition to my illness I also went to Pratt but could not finish my degree when I became ill.
    I am also the ex-girlfriend of James Park. I know that sounds delusional but please don't let my illness devalue me. People who have mental illness should not be considered outsiders because they fell on bad luck, many of them have put the same amount of time and effort into their art as those who are considered sane. Put a price on what the artwork is worth not on a person or else you are a bigot.

I could tell from the way he's so focused on his work, repeating patterns and really getting into the clay.

    C'mon people let's get real: all true artists are in their own way social outsiders who create outsider art. And conversely all artists produce insider art: art comes from within [self/society] and without [self/society]. These guys need to stop acting so preciously dumbfounded. It's disingenuous. The third fool here feigns ignorance, positing that perhaps the term means art produced literally out of doors! Plein air mon cher? Get on fools! These guys can be found clinging to Banksy's ankles as he/she/they drags them down the streets of London. The haute culture art world is making a mockery of the value/worth of art. These three, by holding dear to their false solicitous 'mystery', are feeding right into the capitalist-pig agenda of the art auction houses by raising the value via "absence makes the heart grow fonder."

      the point is that he isn't the only outsider artist and just because he is so successful doesn't mean that others should be ignored because of it. he isn't an 'outsider' anymore as he has been able to transition into that world, whereas as you saw many others who are equally good are facing much more obstacles and have a longer journey ahead and should not have to be marginalised because of one successful person. it's art, not a monopolising stock market.

    Totally encapsulated by some of these images. The first story about the guy who couldn't speak. When I saw his artwork I exclaimed aloud. It's a windows into his mind. It was so clear. Even without the story, the content itself, the shapes and symbols throughout... It is simply exquisite. Soo bored with antique drawings of well to do Edwardian men and women, ugh... So so fresh. I am a pedestrian when it comes to art, so I'm yet to hold any final thoughts as really it's just the beginning for me, which I'm sure is an never ending journey. Not like any of you care. Just hate it when people miss the point then call everyone else lame for having too much of a good time!

  • @Cybertruck1000

    I'd describe it as soul art. ie art that comes from the soul. If someone were born, knew nothing apart from what they see and feel, and then, are drawn to express through their available materials.
    As for it's worth, you can't put a price on it. I'd pay according to how much I liked something. Others might like that as well and so market forces come into play. Paintings that sell for millions have nothing to do with "art". It's a bit of an insult to art the way it's treated as a comodity for the rich.
