Art Brut

Art Brut, also known as Outsider Art, is a style characterized by raw, untrained, and untamed creativity. It emerged in the early 20th century and gained recognition in the mid-1940s, becoming more famous in the 1950s and 1960s. This style became prominent for its emphasis on the raw instinct and unconventional approaches of self-taught artists. Art Brut celebrates the unrefined expressions of people outside the traditional art world, often created by those with mental illness or living on the margins of society.
