Raw Vision was
first published in 1989 with the express purpose of bringing
the phenomena of Outsider Art to a wide public. The first
edition of Raw Vision presented works known
to just a handful of people around the world. Raw Vision
has since continued to feature new discoveries of Outsider
artists and unknown places such as sculpture gardens and extraordinary
self-made buildings.
Raw Vision remains
the world's only international journal of the art of the 'unknown
geniuses' who are the creators of Outsider Art. Untrained,
unschooled and uninfluenced by the art world, the work of
these artists continues to stun and amaze. They invent their
own forms, techniques and create private worlds. Only in the
pages of Raw Vision can readers discover for
themselves the world of Outsider Art.
This high quality quarterly publication takes a fully international
view of events and presents all the latest news of exhibitions
and publications in this fascinating field. It features artists
from every continent and its news pages cover many different
countries around the globe.
Raw Vision can give art lovers a unique insight
into the power of 'raw' creativity which contrasts completely
with the prosaic world of conceptual and institutional contemporary
art so prevalent in our museums and galleries today. It is
not for nothing that Outsider Art has been termed 'the hidden
face of contemporary art', like the hidden face of the moon.
Enter the world of Outsider Art through Raw Vision,
the unique journal that alone among regular publications can
introduce readers to an art that is pure, exciting, raw, an
art that that has real meaning and integrity.
