not Outsider art
Wikipedia Outsider art entry: "Outsider art is art by self-taught or naïve art makers." Impossible to apply this to Sims, an academically-trained and very well-connected professional artist. A single gallery owner had chosen to classify (and market) Sims as an Outsider artist, saying Sims is a prime example of the "trained" artists whose style changed due to psychiatric illness (schizophrenia is suggested), but if you read the sources you will see that there is no evidence cited (other than uninformed hearsay) of schizophrenia or other diagnosis of mental illness, beyond depression and insomnia.Stevensaylor (talk) 21:47, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
