Explain why Henry Dodger is considered an Outsider Artist.

请解释说明为什么大家认为Henry Dodger是一位非主流艺术家。
Now read a passage about Outsider Art from a Modern Art textbook.
请阅读下面这篇选自现代艺术课本的关于非主流艺术的文章。
You will have 45 seconds to read the passage. Begin reading now.
你将有45秒的时间阅读文章。现在开始计时。
Now listen to part of a lecture in an Art History class.
请听艺术史课上的部分内容。
All right, so let's consider the works of outsider artist Henry Dodger.
好了,我们来聊一聊非主流艺术家Henry Dodger的作品。
Dodger lived by himself in a tiny apartment in Chicago in the 1900s.
二十世纪初,Dodger独自生活在芝加哥的一个小公寓里。
He had no friends and spent all his spare time there alone creating hundreds of paintings and drawings.
他没有朋友,而且所有的空闲时间都待在那个小公寓里独自一人创作着数百幅画作。
He had never formally studied art and kept his work completely private,
他从没正式学过画画,也从来没有公开过他的作品,
so no one ever saw it or responded to it during his life time.
所以,他在世的时候没有人看过或回应过他的作品。
And so, when you see Dodger's work you notice how unique it is.
正因如此,当你看到Dodger的作品时会发现它们是如此独特。
It doesn't remind you of anything you've ever seen before. It's very much his own.
这种类型的作品之前从未出现在我们眼前。完全是他自己的创作。
For example, one piece, it's a water-color painting,
举个例子来说,有一幅作品,一幅水彩画,
in this piece he illustrates a story, about the adventure of seven children.
在这幅作品中,Dodger讲述了一个关于七个孩子的冒险之旅的故事。
But see, Dodger had a really hard time drawing human figures.
不过事实上,画人物形象对Dodger来说实在是件难事。
Yet he managed to come up with his own rather unique solution for the problem.
然而对于这个问题,他还是想到了一个独具特色的解决方法。
He simply cut out pictures of children from newspapers and magazines
他直接从报纸和杂志上把孩子的照片剪下来,
and pasted them into his own painted illustrations of trees, flowers and grass.
然后把它们糊进了他画的有树、花和草的图里。
The results look, um, a little strange.
成品看上去......有点奇怪。
Dodger's picture looks more cluttered, more crowded with details than the pictures of other artists,
Dodger的画看上去比其他画家的作品更加凌乱,细节更加丰富,
because its entire surface is painted and there are no spaces left empty.
因为画的整个表面都涂上了颜料,没有任何空白的地方。
It's also a lot longer than pictures of most other artists, about nine feet long.
他的画也比大部分其他画家的要长得多,大概有9英尺长。
