Art Weekly  | | Outsider art, Damien Hirst and a heist – the week in art Art from beyond the mainstream goes on display in Chichester, Damien Hirst's statue takes a stance in Devon and art thieves raid a gallery in Rotterdam – all in today's weekly art dispatch -
   A detail from Regina Lafay's Convert, at the Pallant House Gallery, Chichester. Click the magnifier to enlarge Exhibition of the week: Art from the Margins The French artist Jean Dubuffet was not only a highly original painter, but a reclaimer of lost voices and liberator of silenced communities. This fascinating season of art at Pallant House juxtaposes an exhibition of Dubuffet's work with art by marginalised groups in British society. Dubuffet – with his idea of "art brut", or raw art – argued that true beauty is found in the art of children, or the art of those that society calls insane, rather than the insipid art of the establishment. As part of this season, a radical perspective on Britain today is offered by Outside In: National, a show of 80 works by people working outside the mainstream. Pallant House, Chichester, from 20 October until 3 February 2013 Other exhibitions this week Thomas Fearnley

This French painter, who spent most of his working life in Rome, is often thought of as an austere, stern, moral artist. He seems to see himself that way, in his formidable self-portrait. Many of his works portray moments of moral crisis or violence. But in this startling picture he relishes the erotic myths of ancient Greece and Rome. It's a romp in the countryside, an Arcadian ecstasy.
• National Gallery, London WC2N Image of the week  Damien Hirst's statue Verity is installed on Ilfracombe seafront, Devon. Photograph: Ben Birchall/PA What we learned this weekThat Hirst's Verity has something of the Hannibal Lecter about her Who reigns supreme in the art-world Power 100 That thieves in Rotterdam somehow got away with one of the biggest art hauls ever That the Queen is giving up land on the Balmoral estate to help solve the housing crisis That the most endangered buildings in England and Wales include the first ever lending library And finally ...• The new Share your art theme is government.
