Product Description
The modernist era was marked by the breaching of traditional distinctions between art/not art, and the breakdown of the hierarchies that demarcated them. Today, the arts are characterized by an unprecedented openness to new possibilities, a breakdown of genres, a melding of unlikely forms, and far greater inclusiveness. In Outsider Art, sociologists, historians, policymakers, and artists explore the origins of this postmodern condition and analyze the processes of attaining artistic recognition in the visual and performing arts.
