“Detour Art takes us on a back-roads trip through the American countryside to drop in on some of our most natural artistic resources—the kind of people who create art for all kinds of reasons, but mostly just for themselves. It feels like a series of short (and delightful) encounters—with some fellow human beings who somehow discovered the secrets to becoming fully alive.”
- Roger Manley, photographer, curator, folklorist, and author of Signs and Wonders, Self-Made Worlds, and Weird Carolinas.
Detour Art highlights art and images by visionaries, untrained artists, and folk creators found along the back roads of America. It honors the creative spirit that is at once traditional and whimsical, spiritual and irreverent, earthy and sublime. This full-color, hard cover book features 99 artists and 40 environments from all over the country, including many in our own backyard.
