Splitting hairs -- Art Brut vs outsider art

edit

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.

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.

Adding a section about criticism of the term

edit

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
