Answers
Answer:
(i) The 'outsider art' is the art of those people who have no right to be the artists as they have received no formal training, yet they show talent and artistic insight. The notion of 'art brut' or 'raw art" was of works that were in their raw state as regards cultural and artistic influence. Anything and everything from a tin to a sink to a broken car could be material for a work of art. (ii) Nek Chand is the untutored genius who created a paradise years ago. The little patch of a jungle that he began clearing to make himself a garden, sculpted with stone and recycled material is known to the world as the 'Rock Garden' at Chandigarh. Nek Chand has taken the notion of raw art to dizzying heights. His art is, "an outstanding testimony of the difference a single man can make when he lives his dream".
