Splitting hairs -- Art Brut vs outsider art

Art Brut -- as a term came first and was coined by Jean Dubuffet and is centered mainly on child-like naive, primitive works where as ...

Outsider Art -- is ANY art that is created by someone untrained outside of the traditional art world. Slacker13 (talk) 15:23, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed with the Teahouse talk. Art brut, (French: “raw art”) really deserves its own page, not nestled here. There was even a Companie de L’Art Brut set up to collect and study Art Brut, which is now housed in the museum, La Collection de l’Art Brut in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Thanks for the agreement! Slacker13 (talk) 03:32, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to see evidence from art historians that these are really two discrete topics rather than French and English terms for essentially the same topic. Cullen328 (talk) 19:14, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Related, often inter-changed -- but actually two distinct terms. Slacker13 (talk) 18:48, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One of the references in this article is linking to a 404 page.

Particularly "Prinz, Jesse. "Against outsider art." Journal of Social Philosophy 48.3 (2017): 250-272.[1]".

Is there anything that can be done about it? I'd love to read up on it.

Thanks. EnviousBird (talk) 18:25, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a section about criticism of the term

Many pages on Wikipedia have criticism sections. This page does not. But the term Outsider Art has been notably criticized many times. I am thinking of adding a section. What process should I go through to add one? Krɪt̮ɪkl feɪjəɹ (talk) 18:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Krɪt̮ɪkl feɪjəɹ,
