I
am
an
artist
Being an artist is a scary thing to declare; it's much easier
being a plumber or engineer or doctor. Not in doing...but in telling. When you say "I'm a plumber", everyone knows what you do. Same with a doctor or
engineer. Most know why you do it, too. And probably how much you make.
But when you say "I
am
an
artist",
peoples minds go mad, they twirl and shake and tilt.
You can see it in the air
escaping their wordless lips , in the ends of their hair.
You can see the
confusion in their faces and the way they shake and stand.
Still, the artist
prevails.
Not all of us can say we are creators, forming something from nothing, sometimes
WITH nothing. The artists exhibited here are being artists. And we are proud to
tell the world and show their work.
If ever I can do anything for you, be of some
use to you, know that I am at your disposal. We are rather far apart, and we
have perhaps different views on some things; nevertheless, there may come an
hour, there may come a day, when we may be of service to one another...
Vincent Van Gogh, in letter to his brother Theo.
Outsider Art .info is dedicated to my lifelong friend and only partner,
without whose love I would fall out of time.
