Brutalism or Outsider Art. Art critic Rogger Cardinal invented the term outsider art in 1972 as an English synonym for art brut, which was a label created by French artist Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the boundaries of official culture. Dubuffet focused particularly on art by insane-asylum inmates. There are typefaces one could label as "brutalist", such as several of Ray Larabie's creations---Ugocranis, Laserjeks and Vigo, for example---and the wonderful Kompressor by Frantisek Storm. Rough unfinished stencils are also sometimes labeled brutalist. Take for example, Depot Trapharet 2D or Dripps (Gert Wiescher). |
