We are less concerned about discussing artists according to convenient categories than highlighting the information coming from their work, and from the artists themselves. This approach completely subverts current theories of authenticity. For us, the attractions of authenticity come from knowing the artists’ intentions, personal, social, or cultural, and whether the work is telling the artists’ inner truth rather than an engagement with horror vacui. This is extremely important because these three artists have, at numerous times in their careers, been rejected on many levels in the art world for not being ‘pure’ Art Brut, instead of being granted the dignity of their work being appreciated for its own high quality, depth of integrity, and formal skill. The world is messy; very little falls into a clean stereotype. Even Aloïse Corbaz, the great Master of Art Brut, was aware and formed by the cultural world she lived in.
