features sixty new artists.

Since Jean Dubuffet coined the term ""art brut"" in the late 1940s, this fascinating but previously neglected area of art has gained increasing prominence in the art world. This extensively updated edition leads us through the riveting and complex history of Art Brut; including the personal stories of the Art Brut creators, and how their experiences were brought into the limelight from the margins of society, asylums, hermitages, prisons, and retirement homes. Key artists include: Martín Ramírez, Henry Darger, Bill Traylor, Nek Chand, Adolf Wölfli, Aloïse Corbaz, Gaston Chaissac, Louis Soutter, Scottie Wilson, Madge Gill, Johann Hauser, August Walla, and

Oswald Tschirtner, Kashinath Chawan, Agnes Richter, and Angus McPhee.

Complete with nearly 500 works of art spanning over 150 years across the globe-from the United States, Europe, China, Japan, Bali, Ghana, and Brazil-this text is a thoughtful and insightful study of an astonishing art form.
