Summary
The Outlaw Bible of American Art is a who's-who alternative canon of marginalised or famed autodidactic paint-slinging loners who followed their own outrageous, sometimes catastrophic visions to the heights of fame or the depths of Hell. Documenting movements from the post-war period to the present, this anthological barbaric yawp contains manifestoes, essays, interviews and biographies from some of the most cutting-edge American art writers, plus hundreds of full-colour and black and white images.
