Humans have been making art since the dawn of time, often with little education in materials, techniques, or theory, yet the notion of the “self-taught artist” is a relatively new phenomenon. In order to create art outside of the traditional channels, after all, you first need to create those traditional channels—by which we typically mean the established schools and academies that codify art education into defined standards and practices. And in the West, that history largely began in 1635 with the Académie Française, which radically professionalized the art field.
For the next century—or at least until 18th-century Enlightenment thinkers ushered in individualism and reason as challenges to tradition and authority—the academy was able to maintain its power and faced little in the way of revolt. But it was only a matter of time before artists in the West questioned these high institutions, and the 19th century provided some of our earliest, most cherished examples of the self-taught artist. This is the era that gave rise to Henri Rousseau, and shortly thereafter, Vincent van Gogh. The latter received very little formal training, though he had years of experience in the art world; Rousseau may have received none at all.
