Outsider Art- Because things are better on the other side, anyways.

Living in Philadelphia, I am lucky enough to live near one of the world's finest art collections. Currently, the Outsider Art exhibit is being held, and harbors some of the most unique (and controversial) pieces I've yet to see in Philly's main gallery. (power point of some cool pieces found here) The artists are a mis-matched bandwagon of convicts, ex-criminals and the mentally ill, each with their own distinct stories and style. These are some of my favorites.


Purvis Young- "Horses"


George Widener- "Blue Monday Reversal"


Lee Godie


James Castle
