Questions About Outsider Art Totem
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Outsider art denotes works created by self-trained artists unconnected with the conventional world of fine art.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    In art, a totem means more than one thing. Generally, a totem is any item that depicts another object, person or animal. Indigenous people often use totems to symbolize their family heritage and ancestors. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of totems.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    What outsider art is called now varies. Because artists who produce outsider art often lack formal training and rely on innate skill, some people refer to their work as visionary art, self-taught art, intuitive art, grassroots art and naïve art. Another term for outsider art is "art brut." French artist Jean Dubuffet introduced the phrase in the 1940s to describe art produced by artists outside the mainstream. Art brut translates literally to "raw art." Shop a wide variety of outsider art on 1stDibs.
