CREATE AND BE RECOGNIZED: Photography on the Edge
By John Turner and Deborah Klochko.
Outsider art is characterized by a combination of purposefulness, extremism, a singular and often bewildering angle of vision and forthright antirealism. It is art created by practitioners who are generally unaware or disinterested in the art marketplace, and their work is often fueled by passion and obsession. This collection of outsider photography is fascinating, the images can be lovely and charming and strange. The work of outsider artists Adolf Wölfli, Howard Finster, Henry Darger, C. T. McClusky and more are compiled here in this exploration of art on the fringe. They all use photography as their principal medium--chapters divide the work into photo-folk art, collage, photomontage, darkroom manipulation and tableau.

From: Aceman Posted: 06/19/08
Outsider or otherwise, this is an eye-opening collection of art from the fringes of society. Each of the artists seems possessed to create- to some way make contact with a society which has either discarded them or consciously ignores their contributions. A great read & a through overview of a baffling corner of the art world.
