People who feel they have no voice can have a powerful creative spark, sometimes born of suffering or solitude. Mostly it's hidden, but in the 20th century it began to be admired, celebrated, and even perhaps exploited.

Let's look at the story of 'Outsider Art'... Image
Outsider Art, Art Brut, Visionary Art, Naïve Art: nobody has really settled on a name for artworks made by untrained artists which express a raw, energetic experience of the world. It's art from a different perspective, demanding to be heard. Image
Outsider Art began to be recognised in 1911 by Der Blaue Reiter group of artists in Munich. The group was short-lived but influential: fundamental to Expressionism and admiring of artworks created by people struggling with their mental health. Image

Today in pulp... I look back at '70s Argentinian superspy Namur, a lady who lives her life by the motto "Peligro Supremo!" Image
Namur is something of a mystery. She's an FBI agent who uses her unique martial arts skills to fight crime. However she always wears a mask to protect her identity. Image
Namur's boss at the FBI is the equally mysterious 'Taurus' who hides his identity behind a fan. It's such a secretive world fighting crime... Image

Today in pulp I take a look at back at the humble office copier!

It's a godsend to the busy office worker working on their debut novel... Image
The Victorian office of the future had a mimeograph machine. You turned the handle and it sharpened your pencils so you could hand copy better.

At least I think that's how it worked... Image
The Belle Époque French copied their documents with the Cyclostyle machine. Here a typical administrator explains its function to his enthused colleagues. Image
