Outsider Art

First, this post is fantastic. I have never heard of Harvey Darger and his work is simply amazing. I am planning a trip to the American Folk Art museum to see his work in person. Recently I came upon the work of Vivian Maier. She is a photographer with no formal training who took over 100,000 photographs of New York City and Chicago over her career. Her photographs were discovered in 2007 by historian John Maloof.

She is an untrained photographer, and most of her work was found as undeveloped film, but her photographs are masterful. Not only is the composition and exposure amazing, but every photograph captures the era.
