This 1974 work suffers from a patronizing tone and a sort of Rousseauian fetishization of the untrained artist. That said, it selects a bunch of works in the field that aren't commonly included in overviews, and the reproductions are clear, so if you care about outsider/naive/etc. art, you may want to pick it up regardless. Just be aware that the prose comes off as really dated.
