Boca Raton, Florida.- The Boca Raton Museum of Art is proud to present “Outsider Visions: Self-Taught Southern Artists of the 20th Century” on view at the museum through January 8th 2012. Regarded as among the most intriguing areas within 20th-century art, the work of self-taught artists continues to elude categorization. Loosely characterized as work by artists without formal artistic training, the genre of self-taught art (sometimes called folk art or outsider art) covers a diverse array of artistic media, styles, and themes. The artists come from both rural and urban communities, and from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Among their subject matter: politics, social commentary, UFOs, daily life, sex, and personal obsessions.
