Raw Vision Magazine Reviews 164

Raw Vision has consistently presented works from outsider/non-traditional artists for decades. Always presented with the best images and smart writing. Thank you John Maizels for your sustained work at keeping the standards high. I value my Raw Vision collection.

This issue is of particular interest to me. The reportage on Grant Wallace and his art as the message, and the message is from the beyond is beautifuly written and illustrated. The articles also featured in this edition are well edited and have quality prints consistent thru out the magazine. The are so many faces to outsider art and Raw Vision presents them each in a unique and respectful fashion. Thank you so much!

Showing up on Facebook was brilliant. I ran across your mag. many years ago and have missed it. I now know that you still exist and I have ordered 2 old ones. They came pretty darn fast.

consistently puts out great content in every issue

I've always loved Raw Vision and was a subscriber for a long time. Then because of my economic situation, stopped. But also because I am mostly interested in Outsider Art Sites, and you were/are doing more about 2 dimensional art and art that fits in museum settings... I went to a conference in Germany years ago, and found out that that is Outsider Art to most people. I however, love to travel and meet people who transform their homes into art sites.

Beautiful magazine delivered quickly and without any bent corners. The Joe Coleman fold out in the issue was worth the price of the entire magazine.

Raw Vision has enriched my creative perspective in ways I’m only beginning to understand. It has been indespensible in my journey of artistic appreciation. The art and artists I’ve discovered through Raw Vison has simply astounded and fulfilled me, period. Thanks you.

A beautifully produced magazine, with excellent writing and great quality imagery. I really wasn't aware of this publication until I read the graphic novel 'Enferme-Moi Si Tu Peux', and looked up some of the artists portrayed, which quickly led me down the internet rabbit hole to back issues of this magazine. I couldn't resist, and subscribed, and haven't looked back. Each issue is full of surprises - the current 'legitimate' art world is often something of a bore, but this exploration of 'outsider art' is endlessly fascinating and inspiring.

I give my husband a gift subscription to your magazine every year to keep him in touch with what other artists are doing around the world. He will be 89 this year and is unable to get to his studio because of health limitations. He does, however, draw in his sketch book every day and keeps all of the magazines past issues near him and looks back at them frequently with great pleasure. The photography, paper quality and printing is top notch. Thank you for providing an old outsider with great artwork to see and learn about without leaving the house.

It was straightforward to subscribe. The magazine arrived quickly and surpassed expectations. Beautifully produced with lovely detailed photographs and an informative read. I can't wait to discover more inspirational artists in the next issue. The poster is on the wall of my workshop!

I have admired this publication from a distance for years: so-called "outsider"/folk/primitive/fringe/"mad"/children's art is my favorite creative expression, anodyne to an increasingly corporate "Art" of recycled ideas and grant-hunting. As a surrealist, I see this stuff as the spun gold of the human mind, the clearest gesture of desire, mostly uncorrupted by capitalist impulse. So I finally made my mind up and subscribed, and also order some select back issues. Pricey? Certainly, but the magazine is colorful and vastly intriguing. Some things are worth the outlay - which is saying something as I am not rich. But as a retiree I figure it's my time to indulge some of my own desires. Everything arrived in good order. I look forward to future issues.

Your staff got back to me quickly. Answered all my

Very good presentation, plenty of information about 'what's on'. I find the contents interesting and am always uplifted by the liveliness and thoughtfulness of the artists whose work is shown and discussed.
My subscription is money well spent!
