Folk Art According to Brittanica.com is the art of the people, as distinguished from the elite or professional product that constitutes the mainstream of art in highly developed societies. Folk Art "may be considered as the art created among groups that exist within the framework of a developed society but, for geographic or cultural reasons, are largely separated from the cosmopolitan artistic developments of their time and that produce distinctive styles and objects for local needs and tastes."

The Art Brut Phenomenon began bu Jean Dubuffet favored who this uniqueness, honesty, and authenticity that he thought were lost in the pretentious and fashionable world of Paris salons. This is why he obsessively started visiting mental hospitals and prisons, gathering paintings and drawings created by the patients that would in 1948 become part of Compagnie de l’Art Brut, a collection on which he founded this movement.
