Like other major American urban centers, Chicago has been home to many artists who have had no formal art training and have usually worked outside the world of galleries, collectors and museums. After World War II, mainstream Chicago artists, art school faculty, collectors and museums came to appreciate and collect the work of such individuals, and this appreciation continues. Organized from the Smart Museum’s permanent collection and selected loans, this exhibition includes works in a variety of media by such Chicago self-taught artists as Henry Darger, Bonnie Harris, Aldobrando Piacenza, Pauline Simon and Joseph Yoakum, as well as Jesse Howard, Martin Ramirez and others who did not live in Chicago but were influential and collected here. The show will examine such issues as the ever shifting, and sometimes controversial, definitions of what outsider art is and its impact on the broader artistic and cultural life of the city.
