- The art of visionaries, folk creators, spiritualists, recluses, the insane and the socially marginalized – once scorned – is now recognized as speaking with great immediacy and power
- Author looks at a wide range of work by self-taught and 'Outsider' artists, offering a fascinating account of human creativity
- Examines in particular the inspiration it provided for Jean Dubuffet and his Art Brut movement
