An art movement that emerged after World War II in reaction to academic aesthetics and in favour of obscene and crude images, often produced by non-professional artists, including individuals with mental illnesses and prisoners. Also referred to as “outsider art,” the term was coined by Jean Dubuffet and is French for “raw art.”
