The contemporary art world has been challenged and invigorated by outsider artworks by selftaught practitioners who, by definition, have little to do with mainstream art production, but are nonetheless actively engaged with the visual culture of their time and place.This is the first book to explore the collection of Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz, one of the finest private collections of American outsider art. Twentyseven artists are included in the selection published here, among them Eugene Von Bruenchenhein, William Edmondson, Howard Finster, Sister Gertrude Morgan, Martn Ramrez, and Bill Traylor. The book presents short biographies of the artists and essays by major scholars that examine the work from both theoretical and historical perspectives, with a particular focus on the relationship of contemporary art to outsider art and how the latter has been critically appropriated into postmodern discourse. Renowned artist Francesco Clementes fascinating essay places these socalled outsiders in the mystical tradition of Jacob Boehme, Emanuel Swedenborg, and William Blake.Published in association with the Philadelphia Museum of ArtExhibition Schedule:Philadelphia Museum of Art(03/03/1305/27/13)
