ART BRUT AND COUNTERCULTURE – RELATIONS, INFLUENCES, CONTEXTS

Art brut and outsider art for a long time remained outside the mainstream of official culture - they were neglected both by the so-called serious critics, as well as the wide audience and were treated as a marginal phenomenon and considered in the category of a titbit, rather than something having a right place in the discourse and in the history of art. The same was true for countercultural movements, subcultures and their artistic output. They were neglected and regarded as temporary rebellious fads. In both cases, however, time has proved that this approach was wrong – art brut began to be recognized as a full-fledged part of art, many of the countercultural movements began to have significant influence on other, also the official segments of culture.
