Summary/Abstract: Outsider art became a lively completion of contemporary art during the last 50 years. A social transformation is behind this worldwide observable phenomenon, which manifest itself in the relation between art and disability, insanity, and existence at the social periphery. During the interpretation of this process it becomes emphatic that this unique postmodern phenomenon (in art) doesn’t want to expropriate neither the notion of art nor disease; on the contrary it tries to understand and get to know them as accurate and empiric as possible. It exhibits the plasticity of contemporary art to the ones who are interested in it. In the focus of my essay is the narrative of Mária Balassa.
