Description

Moon turns his attention to the artist Henry Darger, an eccentric and self-taught artist whose work was only discovered after his death. Since then the work has become famous, but Darger himself has generally been seen as a withdrawn outsider artist whose work may have been the result of mental illness. Moon provides a contrasting view of a creative and gifted artist very responsive to the world around him. Abstract: Focuses on the artist Henry Darger, an eccentric and self-taught artist whose work was only discovered after his death. This title shows how Darger drew on novels, comics, pulps, and the history of his time to produce a sometimes disturbing and sometimes joyful but always imaginative alternative world. Read more...
