About This Item
Oblong quarto (8.25 x 11 in.) A fine book in blue cloth with a fine dust jacket. 114 full-color illustrations. "When Darger died in 1973 at the age of 81, he left behind an astonishing cache of art, shocking in both its content and its sheer size. . . . These works are the product of a fertile yet tormented imagination of a secretive Chicago janitor who has since been recognized as one of the supreme self-taught artists of the 20th century."—jacket blurb. This volume catalogs the exhibit (December 2001–June 2002), Darger: The Henry Darger Collection at the American Folk Museum, New York, showing their recent acquisition of 37 paintings.
