| Junebug I can understand why Gushie loved the movie Junebug, But I must admit to having to turn it off a few times just to absorb those people. It was hard to tell the difference between the autistic and the hicks. I can remember being the invisible 12 year old sitting in the corner as my parents interacted with rural friends or family; we were the city folk, they were not. But much like my own experiences never made much of an impact, neither did the movie. As for outsider art, why is it that the further the person is disconnected from reality in mainstream america, why is the art considered so much more attractive? If I did a sculpture of a man in overalls with donkey ears it would just be a bad statue but if a relative at home, a fisherman by trade, did it, it would be amazing. May 18 06 |

on the other hand, if I made a sculpture of a man in overalls with donkey ears... it would be amazing.

heh anyway i don't know the answer, but i am attracted to a lot of outsider art because there is a certain honesty to it, but to me the art is tied closely with the story of the artist, so i'm not just appreciating the art, but the story of the person's life also.
