Insite Art promotes the idea of the work of great artists and writers as an escape from cold rationalism and a search to recover the magic and fantasy of childhood. The text is in four sections with versions printed in Slovakian, Russian, French and English. Among the contents are "For Genuine Creative Art" by Jean Dubuffet, "On the Phenomenon of the 'Other' Art" by Ksawery Piwocki, an article on exhibitions of naive art by Ignacy Witz and a review of two monographs on Henri Rousseau by Jan Okrucky. Very good .
