DESCRIPTION:May 13 - Sep 13\, 2026\nThe term “self-taught artist” has a
 lways carried a whiff of condescension\, the implication being that the wo
 rk is interesting despite the absence of training\, and that is was produc
 ed by an isolated outsider who stumbled into art. The American Folk Art Mu
 seum has spent years pushing back on that paradigm\, and this exhibition i
 s its most direct statement yet. Sixty artists—among them\, Bill Traylor
 \, Henry Darger\, Clementine Hunter\, Adolf Wölfli\, Aloïse Corbaz\, and
  Thornton Dial Sr.—are presented not as untutored naïfs but as makers w
 ith full aesthetic agency. The show is organized around three modes of sel
 f-representation: self-portraits\, alter egos\, and autobiographies.
