Which statement about outsider art is supported by the material?

• A. Outsider art is always created by trained professionals.
• B. The artist worked independently of any tradition or style.
• C. Outsider art is strictly a digital medium.
• D. Outsider art follows a famous school of thought.

Answer: (B)

Outsider art refers to work created outside the boundaries of official art culture, often by self-taught artists who operate outside established traditions and schools. The statement that the artist worked independently of any tradition or style best matches this idea, because outsider art is defined by a personal, unfiltered approach that isn’t bound by conventional styles or the canon of recognized movements. It highlights independence from formal training and the mainstream art world.

The other options don’t fit because outsider art isn’t limited to trained professionals, nor confined to a single medium like digital, and it doesn’t follow a famous school of thought; in fact, it often emerges precisely by stepping away from such classifications.
