| Description | Participation in the project MUNI/A/1033/2009 Spontaneous Art and research of untrained artistic expression with regard to the issue of art brut. In the context of contemporary art trends and art currents defies the creation of the mentally ill, children and untrained artists its unequivocal classification. Similarly, the inadequacy of terminology together with the content-formal concept concern the terms such as art brut, folk art, primitive art, naive art, insit art, etc.. A brief review of Czechoslovak publications relevant to the topic is followed by a central theme of study: the similarity and the difference between folk art, primitive art and naive art and art brut. Both lies in the spontaneity of expression, which is always truly authentic and highly creative. The spontaneity or spontaneous in art theory, it is difficult to grasp and classify. The spontaneous is a specific and it blurs boundaries between the artistic epochs, trends and tendencies. The author examines her own conception of art brut, understands it primarily as a call for complete creative freedom and the imperative of the principle of unrestrained imagination (J. Svankmajer), which is not bounded by any art-historical classification system. |
