		The studies of Art Brut seem to privilege the psychological point of view concerned with the unique, the particular, in other words the secrets of a subject rather than the sociological and ethnological point of view, which attempts to describe the universal characteristics and looks for converging points among groups of individuals.
		Art Brut can be seen as a sort of territory, an existential expression and not, in contrast to the cultural artistic creation, as a mode of representation which shows its affiliation.
		If Art Brut cannot be seen as a movement or a model, it has had, nevertheless, an important place in the history of art of the 20th century.

	Outsider Art / Art Brut of Mikael Lovich
		Originally, this art form was "discovered" by psychiatrists in the European mental institutions and insane asylums in the late 19th Century.
		His strict stipulation was that none of the art works were to "tour" in other galleries, therefore insuring the "purity" of the art or of entering "the cultural circus of art promotion" which he dispised.
		The art works in this gallery are not just a collection of drawings of a paranoid schizophrenic, but a diary of a man's torturous struggle from the depths of insanity to self-encounter and finally, spiritual growth.

		Now well-represented throughout the world, Art Brut is a recognized genre, its bounds expanded to include not just the work of institutionalized artists, but other outsiders with intuitive or self-taught talents.
