Outsider Art
Representative work: The Pikes by Annette Messager
Art produced by self-taught artists outside the mainstream art world — including those with mental illness, prisoners, and others on the margins of society. Term coined by art critic Roger Cardinal in 1972 as an English equivalent of Jean Dubuffet's Art Brut.
