About this event
Speaker: Joshua Willis
This program explores over 100 years of self-taught art history, from early European psychiatric theories and American folk art to Jean Dubuffet's "art brut" and the controversies of "outsider art." It highlights Chicago's pivotal role in legitimizing the genre, featuring notable local artists and their influence on mainstream groups like the Hairy Who and Chicago Imagists.
