Parallel Visions : Modern Artists and Outsider Art (9780691000398)



In 1912 Paul Klee declared that the art of the mentally ill, as well as the art of children, "really should be taken far more seriously than are the collections of all our art museums if we truly intend to reform today's art". What Klee found most fascinating and instructive about the art of "outsiders" - those self-taught individuals, sometimes mentally disturbed, who create while isolated from mainstream culture - was the sincerity, depth and power of their unadulterated, unmediated expressions. "Parallel Visions", an exhibition and catalogue organized and produced by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, reveals the considerable influence that outsider art has had on the development of 21-century art. The work of such "marginalized" artists and compulsive visionaries as Antonin Artaud, Ferdinand Cheval, Henry Darger, Howard Finster, Madge Gill, Martin Ramirez, P.M. Wentworth, Adolf Wolfli, and Joseph Yoakum is juxtaposed with the work of devotees of outsider art among modern artists.
Essays by the curators of the exhibition and other commentators offer a history of this phenomenon as well as an exploration of issues crucial to the formation of our aesthetic and critical judgements and our notions of creativity.

The Cajun Home Companion: Learn to Speak Cajun French And Other Essentials Every Cajun Should Know by Joseph and Scott Savoy A linguistic tragedy has unfolded in Louisiana as the first and second generations of non-French speaking Cajuns become Americanized.

The charming genealogical gumshoes in the cozy southern Family History Mystery series give new meaning to the old saying "keep the home fires burning" when their investigation into a long-ago house fire leads to a modern-day murder. It's not just politics as usual when genealogists Sophreena McClure and Esme Sabatier are hired to create scrapbook tributes for a former North Carolina senator's intricate family heritage and illustrious career. Sifting through the ashes of his past, they discover his baby brother perished in a suspicious fire that burned down his childhood home. Still saddened by his late parents' steadfast conviction--against all evidence to the contrary--that the fire was cover for a kidnapping, the senator wants this rumor put to rest once and for all. So with only snapshots of the evidence, Soph and Esme are determined to smother all speculation about the decades-old tragedy. The party lines are drawn when a shocking present-day murder turns up...
