Very simple, if you look at the definition of outsider art. "Insider" would be someone with training in arts, or an artist having art connections while doing their art. Most notable arts are done this way.
- kazinator 3y agoThat is a someone; but the term in question is "insider art". If that someone makes art, that gets labeled "insider art". Without knowing who made some art, in what circumstances, can we reliably test a work of art to tell whether it is insider art or outsider art?
- npteljes 3y agoArt is not just about the thing itself, it can be about the context of the creation, and the viewer too. "Outsider art" is about the context of the creation. So without knowing who made the art, it's impossible, or impractical to determine if it's outsider or not.
