A művészet az utcán hever, avagy kik azok az outsiderek
The Art of the Streets: Who Are the Outsiders?

Summary/Abstract: The French painter and sculptor Jean Dubuffet introduced the concept of art brut to a wider audience in the 1940s in order to promote the work of those creative people who lived outside of the official art world, basically on the margins of society. As Dubuffet’s principles with regard to art brut – the “mandatory” characteristics of the art brut creators – were extremely strict, it comes as no surprise that this very specific concept has been much broadened, which resulted in the birth of “outsider art”. This paper focuses on the evolution of art brut and outsider art. The author tells a short history of these styles, illustrates the differences between them, and demonstrates the present contradictions between the two concepts by taking into consideration the constitutive factors of the current art world.
