Many self-taught artists displayed their work in a dynamic fashion that is difficult to replicate in a museum. They made all-encompassing “environments” by presenting their work densely and intentionally in their homes and yards, creating installations that powerfully expressed their worldviews. The High has many objects that were once a part of these larger immersive experiences.
