outsider art • art brut • the unclassifiable • the avant-avant-garde
JANUARY 2022
WELCOME TO brutjournal!
SO EXACTLY WHAT ARE WE UP TO HERE?
WELL WE’RE INTERESTED IN FORMS OF ART AND CULTURAL EXPRESSION THAT BREAK THE MOLD; THAT ARE FRESH, DIFFERENT, EXPERIMENTAL, DARING, AND DEFY FAMILIAR LABELS; AND THAT, FOR ALL THEIR INNOVATION OR FAR-OUT FORM, UNABASHEDLY CELEBRATE AND REAFFIRM THE HUMAN SPIRIT.
SOUND GOOD?
The American art critic Jed Perl’s new book, Authority and Freedom: A Defense of the Arts, will be published in the U.S.A. on January 11, 2022, by Alfred A. Knopf.
