the fact that the last artist portrays what he wants his life to be and not what he sees: a world full of peace and quiet where he can be healthy and thrive with his family - something so simple and mundane for a lot of people, but unachievable for him, is heartbreaking. you know all the joy in his art is just a dream for him

[@monbub]

I found it very relatable. I think I do the exact same thing. I draw characters I want to meet some day and I draw myself how I want to look, but not how I actually look. This is probably relatable for most artists nowadays.

[@soph1111e]

The part where the guys painting on the wall and he’s like “see this thing? It’s from my brain. Beautiful isn’t it?” I really felt that. That’s exactly how it feels making art. You start working on a thing and all of a sudden there’s this unique thing forming that wasn’t there before and it’s there now because you made it and it came from you. You can’t help but feel this mixture of pride and wonderment that such images came out of your own head.

Gross. The words of a businessman

[@michel_demello]

Art became much more about how much we can bend the word art. Art is simply the expression of the Individual, and that got lost, people no longer express themselfs. Its much more about, how much random stuff we can sell to old rich people. That is the main reason art is still so misunderstood, the main reason its not beeing taken serious by most people, the main reason people think that good art is subjective. It is not, theres no good or bad art, just authentic and inauthentic. If your art is about how much you can do, and still get away with, it isnt about you or your reality, emotions, or the simple expression of your existence. Its just for financial gain. Art died because of this "modern" nonsense. Loved the documentary and the Insight to theese peoples lifes, expressing themselfs!

[@BOBMAN1980]

An artist buddy of mine had that criticism about the recent acclaim for Vivian Maier. As compelling and (somewhat) tragic as her story is, I had to disagree with his cynicism. Her photography was GREAT, and it was only providence that it was ever found--though a loss that she wasn't known when she was alive.

I won my first award in an "Outsider Artist" juried exhibition. It gave me the confidence to push my boundaries as an artist and enabled me to grow my list of collectors pretty fast!! I consider myself a contemporary abstract artist, but if someone wants to label me an "Outsider Artist" I'll wear the label proudly!!!

[@Pellefication]

The power of art is unparalleled. Visual art, music, poetry, dance. Practicing some kind of art is healing. A necessity, an ancient need. Just as much as a roof over your head.

[@soph1111e]

You read a lot about these artists and see their work but it’s really nice to actually watch them create and talk about their art. You get to see how much joy it brings them and how much passion they have for it.

[@Celestein]

This is a fantastic documentary. But in it, I notice several people express a dichotomy between artists 'compelled' to create and ones who 'do it for money'. As an artist I am sickened if I don't create; I AM compelled; *but* I also have to eat and pay rent and buy a minimum of supplies. Not every artist has someone caring for their needs. There comes a point where you are forced to make it into a 'business' to some extent or you may not be able to sustain it at all. I bet countless gifted, natural artists ended up unable to create because they didn't manage to make it work and they didn't have family or support to fall back on. I find the common 'mythos' that artists who don't earn money/fame are somehow truer than the ones who yearn to make a living is really detrimental to all of them. Artists are all humans first and have the exact same basic needs as others. Inspiration IS magical and yet does not feed us or pay bills.

[@divertissementmonas]

What you speak of is actually the myth created by the cultural movement of Romanticism. This movement which began in the late 18th century has shaped the way we think about art and the artist. "Value" was placed on qualities such as imagination, creativity, spontaneity, originality and self-expression. Later on more stress was placed in the artists commitment to his own vision. Then of course what followed was his (never female) alienation from society, his melancholy and madness associated to his 'genius'. He became the 'outsider' and his fate is to die a martyr to art… Three examples of artists appropriating this identity:- Delacroix's "Tasso in the Hospital of Saint Anna, Ferrara" (1874) and James Barry's "Self-Portrait as Timanthes, head" (1790). Also Francisco Goya's "Yard with Lunatics" (1794). What makes it so powerful where even in todays society people still subscribe to it, is its representation of personal autonomy and creative fulfilment which is elusive to everybody… not just artists. Learnt this in Art History...

[@johncastle8254]

Divertissement Monas yes you did learn that in art history ,,you learn from life

[@johncastle8254]

C Ewing art for art sake money for gods sake ,eventually money destroys everything .

[@divertissementmonas]

John Castle - Indeed. Art history is a part of my life unless you are suggesting there is a gap or space between them… Unfortunately (or fortunately) human life span is very short. It is therefore necessary to learn from others experiences and testimonies, from the past and present if there is to be any 'knowledge' at all.

[@eddiegalon3714]

[@thugnificent_69]

From my understanding, at the root of their sincerity for a portion of these artists is developing a world in which they’re included having been rejected by the one they currently live in. Where their shackles are torn and freedom is limitless; this overwhelming sensation pours out of them so much so that it gets to the essence of art. It’s a blessing to be introduced to this other side of a coin and to know it’s equally gleaming as bright as it’s more well known facade if not more!

[@keithhampton7395]

The one thing that this wonderful video does not show, unfortunately, is how many other artists are out there who are not mentally or physically challenged in any way. With zero knowledge about art history and no schooling in art, they still make amazing and outstanding art that is unaffected by the art world. I hope that people realize that the term "outsider" does not only apply to those with some kind of mental challenge, there are thousands of outsider artists besides the type mostly shown here. The video is great, but leaves out a huge swath of artists.

[@pauldrake1858]

You are right Keith there is a huge populous of artists who don't fit the corporate mould who are probably genius' but I think that's the subject for a different video. Have you seen the comments made on the vids of the art world like the Tate Modern or Paul Watson's (Info Wars) comments ? I hope they make more video's like this.

I think being different is liberating. Conformity is the height of... of... bordom, uninspiring... DULL. Call it a mental disorder bi- product. .. we all are no some spectrum somewhere, so be it.

[@jamilgotcher5456]

That's the first thing I thought of when they asked what is outsider art, I thought it's someone not playing the game of the art world that would make an artist famous, either by choice or because they are not located in a major city.

[@Colee7]

Check out The Visionary Museum in Baltimore. Outsiders are actually visionaries and most of them start making art in their elder years, like in their 80s. It’s absolutely astonishing to me. I’ve never had so much excitement in my body looking at art.

Totally encapsulated by some of these images. The first story about the guy who couldn't speak. When I saw his artwork I exclaimed aloud. It's a windows into his mind. It was so clear. Even without the story, the content itself, the shapes and symbols throughout... It is simply exquisite. Soo bored with antique drawings of well to do Edwardian men and women, ugh... So so fresh. I am a pedestrian when it comes to art, so I'm yet to hold any final thoughts as really it's just the beginning for me, which I'm sure is an never ending journey. Not like any of you care. Just hate it when people miss the point then call everyone else lame for having too much of a good time!

In addition to my illness I also went to Pratt but could not finish my degree when I became ill. I am also the ex-girlfriend of James Park. I know that sounds delusional but please don't let my illness devalue me. People who have mental illness should not be considered outsiders because they fell on bad luck, many of them have put the same amount of time and effort into their art as those who are considered sane.
