#outsiderart — Public Fediverse posts

@gutenberg_org In younger years, I was fascinated by the #Voynich manuscript and all these deciphering hypotheses.
But later I did research about #OutsiderArt of mentally ill people of the Wölfli Foundation and #Prinzhorn Collection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outsider_art for Prinzhorn: https://www.sammlung-prinzhorn.de/
I saw so many parallels that I ask myself what if it was individual Outsider #Art? Then we'll never decipher it. Because it was perhaps a very individual talk with a mental situation for surviving it.

Dezelfde tekening als eerder maar dan digitaal ingekleurd. #outsiderart #digitalcolored #artists

Potlood schets/tekening van een lid van een metalcore band. Ik ben bewonderaar van o.a Matisse en Chagall. Misschien is dat te zien.

Dit is maar een klein schilderijtje maar ik ben er wel tevreden over. #acrylicpainting #painting #outsiderart #artbrut

"Untitled," Minnie Evans, 1959.

Evans (1892-1987) was a self-taught Black folk artist who didn't begin drawing until she was in her 40s, working at the ticket booth at Airlie Gardens in Wilmington, NC.

Inspired by her inner visions, her religious faith, her regard for her ancestors, and her surroundings, she created many intricate images of faces amid flowers and foliage. The faces could be her ancestors, or her version of spiritual guides, or something else altogether.

She once said that her flower paintings were her vision of heaven, dismissing the idea of heaven as white and full of clouds, but instead a joyous garden of rainbow colors.

Her work, which began in the 40s, was in many ways a forerunner to psychedelic art of the 60s and 70s; this would not have been out of place on the wall of a hippie's flat.

From the American Folk Art Museum, New York.

An established artist who has been shown at the Tate and the Moma, whom I have known for 75% of my life and adore, said my art was "primitive, but charming in an outsider art sort of way".... and I honestly don't know what to do with that.

I mean, the primitive part is true, I've really only been painting for a couple of years, and I have zero art training outside of wandering the world's museums.

I can't speak to charming.

I know, absolutely know, it was meant as a compliment, and not as a side swipe. I know this person really well, and if they wanted to insult, they are well armed. He was trying to convince me to enter some art shows.

But still, it kinda stings. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I may be too sensitive to be a painter. ;)

Sketchbook is at it again

#sketchbook #ink #cactusdrawing #artbrut #outsiderart

you know the trope of the sketchy van that drives around and offers #freecandy to kids in order to kidnap them?

this is definitely the military recruitment version of that.

this is what I look like.

this is my first attempt at painting with acrylic in several years. on a 30"x20" canvas I found on the curb.

I spent a year making daily self portraits with ballpoint pen. I am assembling an art book with the images + related watercolor paintings. Finally started scanning in the images. January is scanned. 1/12 of the way there!

I so enjoyed reading the story of Charles Joseph Smith in @thetonearm this morning. I'm a sucker for both outsider artists AND extreme technical prowess on an instrument, and seeing them combined in one completely delightful person is very rare indeed.

Fascinating guy. Chicago, you're lucky to have him amongst you!

[Watch party] Godmonster of Indian Flats (1973), Sunday 17 May, 19.00 UTC

«Внутренний сад»
Иногда земля хранит больше памяти, чем люди.
Старые домики, родные воздушные линии, опоры - всё это кажется заброшенным и почти бессловесным. Но под слоем тлена и пыли продолжает существовать другой мир: дикий, цветущий, упрямо живой.

Мне хотелось соединить ускользающий пейзаж старой Астрахани с внутренним садом памяти - местом, которое невозможно уничтожить полностью.

"Country Doctor (Night Call)," Horace Pippin, 1935.

I've talked about Pippin (1888-1946) before; he was a self-taught Black American artist who took up art as a sort of therapy after being injured in WWI. He painted scenes of everyday Black American life, and what he lacked in formal training, he made up for with passion, depth, a remarkable eye for design, and a flair for storytelling and depicting people's lives.

Here we have a scene in a wooded area in the midst of a snowstorm....but a man is slowly leading a horse, pulling a wagon, through the storm. It's not just a mere depiction of a winter scene, but a tribute to the resilience and dedication of a rural doctor, trudging through the storm to someone in need.

Pippin's most popular work are his depictions of Black life, many drawn from his childhood. He also did religious paintings and some historical paintings, mostly of his WWI experiences, but also a noted depiction of John Brown going to his execution, based on descriptions from his grandmother, who witnessed it. I find his work delightful.

From the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
