SELF-TAUGHT OUTSIDER ART! One of the most sought-after areas of collecting today!</em></td>

<td width="100%">
c.1850's Folk Art carving. One of the most exciting catagories in folk art collecting
today is that of OUTSIDER ART - the spontaneous expression
of self-taught people who feel a creative spark and must
find ways to express themselves when mere words do not
suffice. <p> These artists often belong to a part of society
the rest of us might sooner want to ignor or deny -
prisoners, psychotics, those who are autistic, or
agoraphobics. Their art is deeply felt, and is often the only
way they can communicate their feelings.<p> This
handcarved,
jointed figure is truly Outsider Art. Someone put a lot of
creative energy into transforming a bit of wood into a
complex piece of art. Not only do the arms and legs move,
but there are fascinating, tiny leather rounds at the
shoulders and hips. <p>
Please email me if you have any
questions or thoughts about this most unusual, OUTSIDER
carving.
