Passing in Outsider Lane (Hardcover)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Self-taught artists create imagery from their own internal motivations rather than according to some academy style, producing art that is generally considered outside the mainstream. Rather than analyzing their works, Prince has visited and interviewed 21 artists offering a view into their unique and often very private lives. He focuses on the details that move these artists to create. Each entry is ten to 12 pages, containing several color examples of the artist's work. Some of the nonacademics included are Karolina Danek, Ray Librizzi, Ci Ci Saussy, and Danny Dowler. Regrettably, biographical data is not included. Still, this is recommended for specialized art collections particularly because it identifies artists of this genre not noted in other standard sources concerning self-taught artists.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent because contains artists less known to collectors, March 3, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Carson City, NV) - See all my reviews

As a collector of and dealer in Outsider Art, I first read the book and then contacted the author, who at the time was also a dealer. I bought several pieces from him. These artists are less well-known to the self-taught collectors, but most of them are excellent and should be better known.
