Résumé
Ce documentaire retrace la rencontre entre Bill Atnett, homme blanc et Thornton Dial, artiste noir. ; A look at the career of Thornton Dial, an African-American outsider artist who was discovered by art collector Bill Arnett ; 'Mr. Dial Has Something to Say asks the following questions: What is the meaning and history of this movement? Who are the artists and why do they create? Has Afro-American improvisational visual art been disregarded by the mainstream art world as less important? Have terms such as “outsider”, “visionary,” “primitive,” “folk,” “self-taught,” and “naïve”—all of which have been applied to this particular style—downgraded the importance of this art?'
