4.0 out of 5 stars
A good cross reference guide book, August 29, 1999
This review is from: Outsider Art of the South (Hardcover)
Each book can only feature so many great artists. Inevitably, many get left out. Here is a decent sampling. Interesting interviews. Wonderful photographs. I disagree with a price guide found in the back. We should encourage involvement in outsider art for its historical, social and emotional value, and not based on what a piece can fetch at auction, or how collectable an artist may be. The worth of a piece and/or artist is, or should be, a subjective decision.

the pre-eminent book on southern folk and outsider art, February 10, 2012
This review is from: Outsider Art of the South (Hardcover)
Great photos of the art and moving stories behind the artists. A must-read for anyone who loves outsider art, good writing, and a dose of the South.
