Outsider Art: Visions of (a UFO) Reality?

Copyright 2021, InterAmerica, Inc.

In a previous posting here I suggested that schizophrenics were not hallucinatory, in the psychiatric sense but actually seeing (and hearing) what they indicated they were seeing (and hearing), putting the lie to the psychiatric evaluation of mental disease (per Thomas Szasz notable complaints).

To make my point further let me here cite this book: Outsider Art by Roger Cardinal [Praeger Publications, NY, 1972] wherein the author, Cardinal, presents dozens of “outside art” pieces, from which I’ve culled a few that have what seem to be images that could be renditions of UFOs and/or ETs that the “artists” actually saw and painted to capture their startling (un)reality.

I’m suggesting that some people, discounted as irrational or mentally ill sometimes get sight or sounds that are interpreted as hallucinations – how or why is another matter – which box them in as disturbed and their images and sounds determined to be unreal accordingly.

But they actually saw or heard what they say they saw or heard, not able to render a perfect rendition for a number of reasons – ability, interpretations, neurological distortion, and even psychological pathology, which taints their accounts, and in my cases here, their art,

This work collected by the artist Jean Dubuffet, as part of his interest in art by the “clinically insane” and untutored, original, and extra-cultural artists [ibid, Page 24] show likenesses that remind me of so-called observations of UFO entities known as the “grays.”

The artist named Aloïse, and painted between 1948 and 1950. The first image is how it was painted – showing the likenesses I see. The second image is the work turned upside down showing the “ET-like” images to be women. 

This is where the artist (witness) incorporates a change that lessens the odd nature of what they perceived. Cardinal offers the ideas of psychiatrist Hans Prinzhorn from his 1922 book Bildnerei der Geisteskranken that deals with mental patients, Prinzhohn seeing such art as mystical. [Page 19]

This work by Madge Gill, from the 1950s, looks like a UFO “mother ship” which doesn’t surprise as Ms. Gill made a number of drawings she say she got from her spirit guides:

Gill entitled some of her works as Mars Canals, the inhabitants of Mars, Jupiter luminary, Saturn Vercois lenorio supio, et cetera {Pages 141/142]

This “insectoid-like” entity beneath a hovering UAP was created by August Neter (born in 1868 with no death date listed or known):

This 3-figure work by Johann Knüpfer (born 1866, no death date) is somewhat [sic] reminiscent of the creatures that captured the Pascagoula boys, Hickson and Parker:

This “ship” work [1946] by Guillaume (born 1893, no death date) who was hospitalized for delirium is what some UFO witnesses [such as those in the 1959 Reverend Gill sighting] see craft piloted by persons. Guillaume painted other pictures with plunging ships, swooping birds, and other fantastic objects in the sky [ibid. Page 85]:

This work (from the 1955-1960 period) by a pastry-cook Palanc [1928. no death date] shows what appear to be UFO-like objects (triangular and disk-like), also similar to the 1959 Gill observation with people atop and others looking at objects. [Page 119]:

Then we have the Karl Brendel (born 1871, no death date), who once claimed to being pursued by a mermaid, sculpted this piece that the Ancient Alien crowd would probably see as an extraterrestrial astronaut [Pages 158/159]:

This my view also, except that we can interpret such paintings/drawings as observations that are actual, but so bizarre that professionals and others see the material as indicative of mental illness. 

(Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” has been so labeled, but perhaps the great painter saw a raft of UFOs in his lifetime and decided to remember his sightings.)

At any rate, persons who “see” and draw or paint their reality may not be “insane” but rather are adepts of a reality that lives alongside that which we “normal” persons never see or keep our mouths shut about (and our painting supplies closed).
