Sad how "outsider art" vocab is cringe-inducingly ableist. I'm trying to talk about "heterodox" things, w/o connotations of mental illness.

@KevinSimler But all the canonical language--"art brut," "naive art," was too insidious.
@traviskorte ah, after reading the Outsider Art Wikipedia page, I now get what you mean. FWIW, when I first heard the term two weeks ago...

@KevinSimler I remember it being taken seriously & uncritically in classes in college (go Bears, btw). Sad it took me this long to question. - 1 more reply

@traviskorte ... it was explained to me in the sense you meant it, i.e., art from outside the art mainstream -
@KevinSimler That's what it ought to mean, but it also connotes "things made by people with schizophrenia"
