SANTA FE, NM. Outsider/Intuitive Art: There is controversy surrounding the exact definition of outsider art (also often called intuitive art, visionary art, and Art Brut). Typically, those labeled as outsider artists fall under the umbrella of self-taught art (as does most folk art), with little or no contact with the mainstream art world or art institutions. In many cases, their work is discovered only after their deaths. Often, outsider art illustrates extreme mental states, unconventional ideas, or elaborate fantasy worlds—art by persons on the fringes of society including the socially maladjusted, mental patients, prison inmates, and the disabled.

SANTA FE, NM. Principal among dealers participating in SOFA WEST’s new spotlight presentation of The Intuit Show of Folk and Outsider Art is Russell Bowman Art Advisory (Chicago), specialist in modern, contemporary and self-taught art. Bowman reports he will present outsider artist Carlo Zinelli (1916 –1974), a schizophrenic from Italy who was committed to psychiatric hospitals all his adult life. Zinelli drew for eight hours a day with tempera paints and colored pencils, creating about nineteen
hundred paintings and a few sculptures. His narratives tell the story of his childhood in the country, frequently repeating figures to cover the entire background in ‘horror vacui’ style. His human figures are always solid shapes drawn in profile, often with holes to represent eyes or other features. By 1964, his work had been exhibited, and he had attracted the attention of art historians associated with Jean Dubuffet and the Compagnie de l’Art Brut. Continues >
