The Orange Show Foundation
Sunday, August 21, 2005
The Orange Show Foundation for Visionary Arts is an organization that is committed to preserving and promoting outsider art. The agency's crown jewel is the former home of Mr. Jeff McKissack. Mr. McKissack was a curious character who had odd obsessions and the motivation and technical skills to do something about it. He transformed his home into what he referred to as a shrine to oranges. The rest of the world calls him a folk artist or outsider artist, possibly unaware of the true import of his own work. What is left though is a charming little world alive with the imagination of a sincere old man. Everyone ought to see this unlikely masterpiece. Whatever you call it, it's very cool.
