Summary: Cuspy writing on a interesting group of outsider artist.
Comment: Strong color plates covering some major artist and some other artist seldom before seen. Great coverage of several types of installations and of Laura Pope Forester's life. Text provides some in-depth essays by some diverse writers who have all been at it a long time and yet have differing takes on the presented works. Rare quotes. Informal writing style of the curator is a breath of fresh air.

Summary: whereabouts are known
Comment: some of the art in this book are nice examples of work by outsider artists, but this book is not very informative. every work of art is made by someone known to the authors. how is that unsigned and unknown. every piece is attributed to an artist and lent by someone. this is very confusing to a person new to the field of outsider art, and to those who are familiar with it. i think outsider art needs someone to write about it who has a brain. that is probably why when i try to get my friends interested in this kind of art, they always say it is so bad. the art is not all bad, but the people who do the books about it are not qualified to write about anything. i have no art qualifications whatsoever, maybe i need to become an outsider art "scholar". i may be overqualified. established art forms would not stand for this.
