Art Brut Paintings for Sale

The expression « art brut » was invented in 1972 by art critic Roger Cardinal. It is a movement created by self-taught or « naïfs », who escape tradition and have had little to no contact with traditional artistic education. Often, the term art brut is used to label artists with mental disorders, bearers of unconventional ideas, or childlike behaviors, and these artists are generally only discovered after their death. But the label refers solely to the nature of the artists; the artworks themselves are extraordinarily varied in terms of genre and appearance.

Despite the historical marginalization of artists supporting this movement, art brut is now a recognized current. The fair « Outside Art Fair » has been held in New York every year since 1993 and regularly publishes magazines dedicated to this subject. Discover the collection of art brut and outsider artworks on Artsper, including works by the artist Jean Dubuffet himself, widely recognized as the creator of the art brut movement. But also works by young talents, claiming with flair this sometimes criticized label, but which nonetheless offers unparalleled artistic freedom: Jéko, Jazzu, Isa Ansory and many others!

What is the difference between naive art and art brut?

Naïve art is characterized by a spontaneous and colorful representation of the world, often created by self-taught artists. Art brut, on the other hand, includes works created outside of cultural codes, by people without artistic training, sometimes marginalized.
