Outsider Art is the work produced outside the mainstream of modern western art by self-taught, untrained visionaries, spiritualists, eccentric recluses, folk artists, psychiatric patients, criminals and others beyond the margins of society and the art market. Coined in 1972, the term in English derived from Jean Dubuffet's `Art Brut' - literally `raw art', `uncooked' by culture, unaffected by fashion, unmoved by `artistic standards'.
