While the label is no doubt limiting, the artist's atypical ability to combine the fantastic with the banal, personal distortion with autobiography, and joy with torment is a strong example of the tripartite tension between academism, realism, and neophytism central to the traditions of Naïve, Raw, and Outsider art. Jean Tirilly died in 2009 leaving behind one of the finest, most idiosyncratic bodies of work in French outsider art history.

To the south, the Smolyan dialect crosses the Greek- Bulgarian border and is spoken by much of the Muslim Bulgarian (Pomak) population in Western Thrace. As a result of the rugged mountainous terrain and the century-long isolation of the region from the rest of the country, the Smolyan dialect is the most idiosyncratic of all Bulgarian dialects (including the Western Central Macedonian dialects) and is not readily understandable even for its immediate neighbours.

On the other hand, clinical symptoms of idiosyncratic drug reactions (Type B adverse drug reactions) are different from the pharmacological effect of the drug. The proposed mechanism of most idiosyncratic drug reactions is immune-mediated toxicity. To create an immune response, a foreign molecule must be present that antibodies can bind to (i.e.

Hi This Is Flume has been characterised by critics as an experimental, IDM, wonky and electronica mixtape. Christina Hernandez of Dancing Astronaut described the record as a "complete change of pace from Skin" due to its abstract musical style, and Flume's "most idiosyncratic work to date"; Steve Kavakos of Australian GQ noted that the mixtape "falls away from any mainstream elements" and marks a return to the sound found on Flume's eponymous debut album. It consists of seventeen tracks, many of them under two minutes long, with each ending transitioning smoothly into the beginning of the next.

" Lanre Bakare of The Guardian said, "In a year of impressive solo rap albums, Staples has managed to create one that's arguably the most idiosyncratic of the lot." Erin Lowers of Exclaim! said, "Summertime '06s coming of age tale is complemented perfectly by production that finds the nuance in Staples' stories and matches it, couching Staples' rhymes in a way that the streets can understand best." Jay Balfour of HipHopDX said, "No I.D. and company have helped him make music that's both uncomfortable and lived-in, and Staples sounds more himself inside of it than ever before.

Even German scholars such as Friedrich Schlegel and Ludwig Tieck adopted it.John Louis Haney, The Name of William Shakespeare: a Study in Orthography, Egerton, 1906, pp. 42–50 The antiquarian Joseph Hunter was the first to publish all known variations of the spelling of the name, which he did in 1845 in his book Illustrations of the Life, Studies, and Writings of Shakespeare. He gives an account of what was known at the time of the history of the name of Shakespeare, and lists all its variant forms, including the most idiosyncratic instances such as "Shagsper" and "Saxpere".

Hungarian composer György Ligeti wrote a piano étude called Galamb Borong influenced by gamelan. Avant-garde composer Harry Partch, one of America's most idiosyncratic composers, was also influenced by Gamelan, both in his microtonal compositions and the instruments he built for their performance"Western Artists and Gamelan ", CoastOnline.org. In jazz, the music of Don Cherry, especially his 1968 record Eternal Rhythm, shows influences of gamelan music. American folk guitarist John Fahey included elements of gamelan in many of his late-1960s sound collages, and again in his 1997 collaboration with Cul de Sac, The Epiphany of Glenn Jones.

It is likely one of his last paintings finished before he died. According to art historian Till-Holger Borchert, the panel "belongs to the most impressive and artistically mature achievements of Early Netherlandish painting". According to Lorne Campbell, the painting is van der Goes' "most idiosyncratic masterpiece".Campbell, 252 Mary is shown lying in a blue robe with a white headdress on a timber bed with her head resting on a white pillow against a headboard.

The Scottish Reformation revolutionised church architecture in Scotland, because the Scottish Calvinists rejected ornamental places of worship and few churches escaped their attention. This tradition of geometric purity became prominent in Scottish architecture thereafter, but never became popular in England. Similarly, Scotland has produced some of the most idiosyncratic of architects such as James, John and Robert Adam, Alexander Thomson and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, which all relate to popular trends in Scottish architecture; all however created Scottish stylistic interpretations and often deliberately injecting traditional Scottish forms into their work. The Adam brothers were leaders of the first phase of the classical revival in the Kingdom of Great Britain..

AllMusic reviewer stated that "the album remade a case for Frehley as one of rock's most potent, soulful axe slingers", who "surprised even longtime supporters with its forceful, confident performances and sharp songwriting." Anomaly, wrote longtime Kiss supporter Geoff Barton, "is full of the Spaceman's signature charms: guitar playing that teeters on the brink of disintegration; gobby Bronx attitude; shout-it-out-loud vocals; songwriting skills that veer between brilliant and blundering. If Kiss's new album Sonic Boom is a slickly realised summation of the band's heritage, then Anomaly is the exact opposite: it's Ace at his most idiosyncratic, vulnerable, prankish, calamitous and, yes, cataclysmic." Justin Crafton of Sleaze Roxx.

Anti received generally positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 73, based on 31 reviews. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic called it "subdued, simmering affair" proving Rihanna could be "unguarded and anti-commercial, resulting in her most compelling record to date". Pitchfork journalist Amanda Petrusich called Anti a "rich and conflicted record at its most interesting when it's at its most idiosyncratic", while Rolling Stones Brittany Spanos said that Rihanna had remade pop music on her own terms with "a sprawling masterpiece of psychedelic soul that's far more straightforward than its tangled rollout".

Shaad D'Souza of Pitchfork rated the EP positively: "The Australian pop singer finds freedom in the EP format, breaking the family-friendly veneer of past releases and serving up his most idiosyncratic music yet. [...] These idiosyncratic choices may sacrifice some of Sivan's universal appeal, but it's much more fun to watch him cutting his own path." The Santa Fe New Mexican writer Olivia Harlow agreed: "In a Dream is a genuinely relatable album that reminds listeners that there can be beauty in pain, power in struggle and clarity in sadness." Slant Magazine writer Sophia Ordaz was more mixed, saying "rather than significantly alter or challenge the singer’s previous approach, In a Dream merely embellishes it".

He then talked about "RBB (Really Bad Boy)"'s music video and said it "boasted dramatic set pieces and incredible choreography". Brooke Bajgrowicz of Billboard noted that the music video had a "fun, creepy aesthetic" and described all of the album's songs as "harmony-heavy, electropop tracks". Chase McMullen of The 405 talked about the various unique concepts the group has done in the past and stated that "Like it or not, Red Velvet are quite simply the most idiosyncratic and joyous pop group from any country working today". He also praised "RBB (Really Bad Boy)", saying it "ups the ante on boisterous, feminist fun" from "Bad Boy", but "in true Red Velvet fashion, it is surpassed by RBB's deep cuts" such as the strutting "Sassy Me".

During his early years as a cardinal, Lercaro established his first contacts with Angelo Roncalli and became well known for the way in which he turned his episcopal palace into an orphanage. Although he had been seen by Vatican- watchers ever since 1953 as a possible successor to Pius XII and was listed by l'Osservatore Romano as a papabile, his reputation as the most idiosyncratic of all the Cardinals and the desire for a transitional pontiff saw him passed over in favour of Roncalli in 1958. Generally considered papabile in the 1963 papal conclave closest to the vision of John XXIII, Lercaro, however, was considered too liberal by most of his fellow cardinal electors to be elected; Giovanni Battista Montini ultimately won. Although Cardinal Lercaro did much vital work in implementing the Council after it closed in 1965, his advancing age saw him gradually disappear from prominence within the Church as the 1960s drew to a close.
