Dear visitors, dear artists and dear friends on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.

As a retired graphic designer, I am happy to use my time for what I love. I search for and collect Art Brut and devote myself to expanding and updating the site with each addition of new works. The site is a great source of joy for me. I am very grateful and would like to take this opportunity to thank all the artists who allow their works to be published on it.

I also thank all Facebook friends and followers on Instagramm for their support and all website visitors from all parts of the world for being interested in the same type of art and showing it by visiting the site is an important encouragement!

Visitors are welcome to contact me by mail (aussenseiterkunst@gmail.com). As a lover and collector of Art Brut, I look forward to any contact with interested and like-minded people and I will be happy to answer. There is regularly something new to discover (see “new acquisitions”).

In 2020 I decided to completely overhaul the page, so the layout has been improved. The images are larger in size and the whole navigation is much smaller at the bottom. The weekly "Challenges", posted on Facebook for 3 years to encourage art lovers to look closely at works of art and find the artists of the works, just for their fun, is now part of the site, offering the possibility of check the results and discover other artworks by the artists and get information about them. The biographical pages have also been improved.

May I ask your participation to improve the site? It has grown considerably over the years and unfortunately it is almost impossible for me to seriously check the thousands and thousands of links and descriptions on about two thousand pages both in English and German and I am fully aware that errors keep on occurring and infiltrate that I don't even notice. Therefore, if you come accross, I am extremely grateful if you send me a message: your advice is very valuable as it is and it will always be my goal to improve the site.

Thank you for stopping by and goodbye, hope you will visit the site again another time, Peter Bolliger, september 2020
