Reflections from the Outside - Germany - January 2006

Handicapped artist Josef Hofer is at the forefront of the Outsider Art movement. He has won the Euward award for his depictions of male eroticism.
"Outsiders are artistic people who have some kind of handicap", explains Arnulf Rainer. Hofer's childhood was spent in tragic isolation where he found a creative outlet through his painting. His work is a prime example of L'Art Brut. This movement recognises art that arises spontaneously from an individual's creative power rather than being shaped by cultural influences.

Lovely documentary, and what an absolutely lovely lady too.

Are you talking about Elisabeth Telsnig? I totally agree! The lovely documentation is mostly the product of chris lewis and david hands, who edited very sensitively!! Sometimes i look back and think it's nice that you got to meet such people!

Die Bilder, die er erschafft, finde ich sehr, sehr schön. Ich wünschte, ich hätte mir diesen ähnlich unbeeinflussten, instinktiven Zugang zum Malen aus meiner Kindheit behalten...

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. Aristotle.
