Outsider art is the work produced outside the mainstream of modern art by self-taught, untrained visionaries, spiritualists, recluses, folk artists, psychiatric patients, prisoners, and others beyond the imposed margins of society and the art market. Coined by Roger Cardinal in 1972, the term was intended as an English equivalent to Jean Dubuffet’s “art brut”—literally “raw art,” “uncooked” by culture, unaffected by fashion, unmoved by artistic standards.In this comprehensive and indispensable guide, Colin Rhodes surveys the history and reception of outsider art—first championed by Dubuffet and the Surrealists, now appreciated by a wider public. This volume provides fresh insights into the achievements of both major figures and newly discovered artists, as well as the emergence of specialized studios, as the relationship between outsider art and the contemporary mainstream art world has developed and become more intertwined. From spirit-guided Madge Gill and schizophrenic Adolf Wölfli, to Rosemarie Koczÿ’s expressions of trauma and Nek Chand’s outdoor creations, these individuals passionately pursue the pictorial expression of their vision.Now illustrated in full color, with the exception of some archival photographs, this new edition has been substantially revised with a greater focus on global outsider art, as well as including more recent talents to the field.

The World According to Roger Ballen, co-authored with Colin Rhodes, looks at Ballen’s career in the wider cultural context beyond photography, including his connections with and collections of Art Brut. It features photographs selected from across Ballen’s career, along with installations created exclusively for the exhibition at Halle Saint Pierre and photographs of objects and works from Ballen’s own collection of Art Brut. Organized thematically, with texts by Colin Rhodes and an introduction and interview with Ballen by Martine Lusardy (the Director of the Halle Saint Pierre), The World According to Roger Ballen is both a catalogue of the first, major exhibition of Ballen’s work in France and an exploration of Ballen’s positioning within and connections to the wider context of modern and contemporary art.

A comprehensive new overview of expressionism, tracing its evolution from the nineteenth century to the present day. Expressionist artists believed in the art object’s ability to communicate emotion, irrespective of any representational or narrative content. In this comprehensive introduction to one of the most radical artistic movements of our time, writer, artist, curator and educator Colin Rhodes traces the thread of expressionist thought from the nineteenth century to the present day, mapping its various manifestations across Europe and the USA, as well as parts of Africa, Asia and South America.By paying particular attention to nuanced issues of gender, sexuality, and cultural appropriation Rhodes challenges the received art-historical narrative and reassesses it in the context of broader twentieth and twenty-first century artistic practice. Generously illustrated, the diverse selection of artists featured in this book range from Wassily Kandinsky, Erma Bossi, Francis Bacon, and Mark Rothko to Ursula Schultze-Bluhm, Gillian Ayres, Purvis Young and Jadé Fadojutimi.

“Outsider art” is the name given to the idiosyncratic work of self-taught creators who are driven to use their own invented visual language to bring forth images from their imaginations. It is outside the continuum of art history, outside the boundaries of art recognized by established art institutions, and outside the collective discourse of the mainstream art world. This book examines the underlying biases, ideologies, and social factors that inform the various approaches to outsider art, including myths surrounding mental illness, movements toward social inclusion, and movements away from the marginalizing effect of labels. Most importantly, Outsider Art of Canada explores how we think about art and who is entitled to call themselves an artist. In this survey dedicated to outsider art in Canada, the first of its kind, the artists introduced have much to tell us about their need to create, unapologetically and without regard to public opinion.

The classic study of alienation, creativity and the modern mind''Excitingly written, with a sense of revelation'' GUARDIANTHE OUTSIDER was an instant literary sensation when it was first published in 1956, thrusting its youthful author into the front rank of contemporary writers and thinkers. Wilson rationalised the psychological dislocation so characteristic of Western creative thinking into a coherent theory of alienation, and defined those affected by it as a type: the outsider. Through the works and lives of various artists, including Kafka, Camus, Hemingway, Hesse, Lawrence, Van Gogh, Shaw, Nietzsche and Dostoevsky, Wilson explored the psyche of the outsider, his effect on society and society''s on him. Nothing that has happened in the decades since has made THE OUTSIDER any less relevant; it remains the seminal work on this most persistent of modern-day preoccupations.

In this perceptive and illustrative look at the expressive and practical use of stone throughout history, Richard Rhodes unlocks the underlying principles of this ancient material—and explains the closely guarded “Sacred Rules” of the Freemasons guild for the first time ever.The relationship between mankind and stone is elemental and deeply ingrained in us all. Stone, after all, has been the primary building material for more than five thousand years of human history, and it continues to record our triumphs and failures. In this searching history, Rhodes—a sculptor, stonemason, and scholar of stonework—explores how stone is best used today and throughout history.Stone presents the closely kept “Sacred Rules” developed over centuries by the medieval Freemason guild, previously available only to the initiated. Here, the rules are explained through historical examples and photographs. In these times of rapid development and expansive urbanization, Rhodes implores us to explore the essential qualities of stone that emerge from the Sacred Rules, not only to rediscover the ancient and traditional knowledge that governed its use for so long but also to find a roadmap for how future generations might thoughtfully recapture the power this material offers.MOST RENOWNED STONEMASON IN THE U.S.: Richard Rhodes apprenticed as a ...

Jeden ostrov, dvě tváře. Není žádný problém strávit celé prázdniny v trojúhelníku hotel, pláž a diskotéka. Stejně tak jednoduché je ale putování od vesnice k vesnici, od kláštera ke klášteru, při němž zapomenete, že Rhodos je po Krétě nejvýznamnějším prázdninovým ostrovem Egejského moře. Rhodos je součástí Dodekánu neboli Dvanáctiostroví, čítajícího dvanáct ostrovů před jihozápadním pobřežím Turecka. Ve skutečnosti je ostrovů devatenáct a všechny jsou obydlené. Rhodos je největší (1398 km2, asi 70 000 obyv.), město Rhodos se 44 000 obyvateli je pak správním centrem celého souostroví, nad nímž po staleté nadvládě cizích mocností od roku 1947 znovu vlaje helénská vlajka. Nicméně sever ostrova je dnes opět v rukou cizinců, přinejmenším na pár měsíců v roce. Vedle hotelů, restaurací, diskoték a krámků se suvenýry se za hradební zdí prostírá stará část Rhodu, město světového kulturního dědictví s pozůstatky dob antických, křižáckých a východořímských. Bohatství minulých dob zde najdete na každém kroku. Z byzantské epochy, která skončila r. 1453, pocházejí četné kostely, kapličky a kláštery. Zdejší mniši a jeptišky prokazují svým hostům často zvláštní pohostinnost, s níž se však cestovatelé setkávají i vně klášterních zdí.

A “meticulously researched” (The New York Times Book Review) examination of energy transitions over time and an exploration of the current challenges presented by global warming, a surging world population, and renewable energy—from Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning author Richard Rhodes.People have lived and died, businesses have prospered and failed, and nations have risen to world power and declined, all over energy challenges.

Prvotina autora románu Zlato. Dan Rhodes čtenáři předkládá "101 povídek o lásce", které na první pohled mohou působit matoucím dojmem - několikařádkové texty, které lze snadno přelétnout očima, jako povídky právě nepůsobí. Čtenář, který přistoupí na autorovu hru a začte se do jeho mikropříběhů, momentek, zdánlivě absurdních situací, shledá, že Rhodesovy texty jsou jako ledovec, z větší části skrytý povrchnímu pohledu. Za absurdními, zdánlivě nepochopitelnými i dosti černými vtipy se skrývají dramata, která mohl prožít každý z nás, a pozorný pohled odhalí, že Rhodes ve skutečnosti píše o strachu ze samoty, smutku z opouštění a nenaplněných setkání, i o zaslepenosti láskou a štěstím. Dan Rhodes (1972) je britský prozaik. Debutoval v roce 2000 sbírkou "101 povídek o lásce" s názvem Antropologie. Hýčká si pozici na okraji literárního dění, a na svém blogu s oblibou zveřejňuje negativní recenze na svoje knihy. Přesto se dočkal čtenářského úspěchu, kritického ocenění a překladů do mnoha jazyků. Rhodesovým tématem jsou milostné vztahy, líčené s poťouchlým humorem, plné bizarních zvratů a podbarvené nostalgií a smutkem.

In the span of just thirty years, this assumption would come crashing down.After the fall, we must determine what it means to be American again.In 2017, as Ben Rhodes was helping Barack Obama begin his next chapter, the legacy they worked to build for eight years was being taken apart. To understand what was happening in America, Rhodes decided to look outwards. Over the next three years, he travelled to dozens of countries, meeting with politicians, activists, and dissidents confronting the same nationalism and authoritarianism that was tearing America apart. Along the way, a Russian opposition leader he spends time with is poisoned, the Hong Kong protesters he comes to know see their movement snuffed out, and America itself reaches the precipice of losing democracy before giving itself a second chance.After the Fall is a hugely ambitious and essential work of discovery.

Beloved comedian Vir Das shares his journey as a perpetual outsider, using humor to navigate heartbreak, failure, and the quest for belonging.When comedian and actor Vir Das found himself stranded on a pier in Cozumel, Mexico, watching his cruise ship sail away without him due to visa issues, it became a metaphor for his life: he’s always been, and will always be, an outsider. Standing on that beach, he took in the absurdity of it all—broke, hungover, dumped, jobless, trousers full of sand. He knew the best way to deal with the situation wasn’t to retreat. It was to laugh. Vir’s story is one of cultural dissonance and identity exploration. As a child, he bounced from India to Lagos, Nigeria, and back again. He navigated life between worlds, never quite fitting in. You’ve heard stories of kids who despise boarding school, but have you ever heard the story of a kid who despised it so much they faked appendicitis and went through with the surgery to get out? That’s Vir. In Africa, he was the kid from India, and back in India, he was the kid from Africa. As the only Indian kid costarring in War and Peace on stage ... Unknown localization key: "more"

LINDEN ARCHIVES is a strictly limited edition, selected archival work capturing the 1990s LGBTQ+ club, pub and Pride scene across the UK, from Brighton to Newcastle — with excursions to Berlin and Gran Canaria. Celebratory in tone, it is the second publication by photographer Stuart Linden Rhodes (following on from ‘Out & About with Linden: A Queer Archive of the North’, 2022/3).A large-format photobook that seeks to encapsulate a peoples defiant in the face of the AIDS crises and discriminatory laws. Included in this work are many images that have fallen foul of Instagram''s unjustly censorious algorithm — alongside uninhibited photographs of Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier, Derek Jarman, Take That, Julian Clary, Peter Tatchell, Paul O''Grady, East 17 and many more. We''re delighted that Russell Tovey has provided an introductory preface to the work. ''Linden'' was the roving reporter for APN and the Gay Times during the early to mid 1990s, his columns for those magazines were entitled: Out & About with Linden.
