Artistic Outsiders & Visionaries of Provincetown

This week I am focusing on our “outsiders & visionaries”. There are so many ways to describe these artists, but here are a few of my favorite quotes:

“Visionary and outsider artists don’t listen to anyone else’s traditions. They invent their own. They hear their own inner voice so resoundingly that they may not even think of what they do as ‘art.’ They attempt to make inner truths visible, audible, or sensible. The aim of their art is to show what lies beyond the boundary of sight.”

“Works produced by persons unscathed by artistic culture … These artists derive everything…from their own depths and not from the conventions of classical or fashionable art. We are witness here to the completely pure artistic operation, raw, brute, and entirely reinvented in all of its phases solely by means of the artists’ own impulses.”

I hope you agree that these featured artists fit these descriptions perfectly!
