THOUGHTS ON THE QUESTION WHY darger? By John M. MacGregor, Ph.D. good part of my life to the study of henry darger. What motivates an art historian, specializing in the secret lifework of
http://www.art.org/newsletter/darger.html

Extractions: Why would an art-historian choose to devote ten years of his career to the work of a totally unknown artist, whose life as a dishwasher in Chicago was more than obscure, and whose work remained unexhibited, a secret world hidden in his room, until his death. I am often asked why I decided to devote a good part of my life to the study of Henry Darger. What motivates an art historian, specializing in the study of art and psychiatry, in his choice of an artist for research? What attracts the viewing public to such an unusual artist? Why do museums and galleries suddenly begin to exhibit this unknown and difficult work? To answer these far from simple questions, some of them very personal, I want to examine a little bit of the history of the area known as Art Brut, or outsider art. In 1922, Hans Prinzhorn, a German art-historian and psychiatrist, published what has proven to be his major work, Bildnerei der Geisteskranken [published in English, Artistry of the Mentally Ill , Springer, New York, 1995], the single most important study in art and psychiatry in this century. Prinzhorn intended to follow this introductory work with a second major contribution, a detailed investigation of one psychotic artist, a schizophrenic patient named Hermann Mebes. But sadly, Prinzhorn died in 1933, at the age of 47, and his planned monograph on Mebes never appeared.

http://www.interestingideas.com/out/darger.htm

Extractions: Rizzoli International Publications, 256 pages, 2000. ISBN 0-8478-2284-2 It's clear that Michael Bonesteel's mission in "Henry Darger: Art and Selected Writings" is to rescue the loner artist of Webster Avenue from his most obvious appeal weirdness. Darger is a major figure in 20th Century American art, and Bonesteel's disciplined introductory essay adds significantly to the well-known scraps of his story while avoiding the overreaching analysis so common to writing on outsiders. His description of Darger's creative methods serves to give him more coherence as an artist, while the account of Darger's one known adult friendship, references to the real life people whose names Darger used in his fiction and similar biographic items add social texture to a life that has seemed obscured in surreal isolation. This approach is opposite that of the typical outsider life story. Rather than sensationalizing the strangeness of Darger's life, Bonesteel, a Chicago-based art critic and member of the Intuit board, manages to make him seem less the isolated other. The biography illuminates the work rather than wrapping it in a romantic eccentricity. Oddity still finds easy resonance with the violence of Darger's most extreme paintings, however, with the misapplied penises on little girls and with the whole vast loneliness of his obsessive artistic enterprise. And the rich illustrations in this volume include a couple of the most bizarre of Darger's set pieces, showing children crucified and, in distressing anatomical detail, gutted.

http://www.salon.com/books/review/2002/07/23/darger/

Extractions: By Gavin McNett Henry Darger is doubtless the world's most celebrated lifelong menial laborer, having worked diligently not only as a janitor, but also in later life as a dishwasher and (finally) a winder of gauze bandages. Darger was truly a man of several careers, and John MacGregor's "In the Realms of the Unreal" represents a definitive, 10-year, 720-page critical study of his life and work. MacGregor's first chapter is gamely called "On the Autobiography of a Dishwasher," a nod to the fact that nobody in the Chicago hospitals in which Darger worked, nor perhaps in his entire life, would ever have believed he would be remembered, let alone lionized, now, 30 years after his death. Darger was a fireplug of a man, mentally ill in the unspecifiable way of the self-muttering recluse, and his fame comes from what was discovered during the cleaning out of the room he inhabited for 40 years, once he finally left its solitude, at 81, for a charity-ward deathbed.

Extractions: By Gavin McNett Henry Darger is doubtless the world's most celebrated lifelong menial laborer, having worked diligently not only as a janitor, but also in later life as a dishwasher and (finally) a winder of gauze bandages. Darger was truly a man of several careers, and John MacGregor's "In the Realms of the Unreal" represents a definitive, 10-year, 720-page critical study of his life and work.

Darger's landlord, Nathan Lerner, was an art-world figure with Bauhaus ties who tolerated Darger with a certain bohemian noblesse forgiving lapses in rent, ignoring strange behavior and strange noises, and even (if perhaps a bit ironically) throwing all-tenant birthday parties for him. But failing health finally forced the old man to move out in late 1972 (he died in early 1973), and when they opened up his close-smelling rooms and walked the narrow footpaths that wound from door to bed to bathroom through a ceiling-high mountain of clutter, they found the skulls and tibiae of several little girls, polished as though by long fondling.

http://www.findarticles.com/m1248/n1_v86/20148116/p1/article.jhtml

Extractions: To illustrate his epic tale of young princesses in peril, the solitary and artistically self-taught Henry Darger created hundreds of collaged watercolors. A traveling show now reveals the techniques he used to convey an internal "civil war" that could find resolution only in religious grace. The classic precedent for this work, however, is not the frescoes of Giotto or Piero della Francesca, but the half-mad illustrated epics of William Blake. For Darger, verbally prolific to an almost unimaginable degree, shared with the proto-Romantic poet a capacity for do-it-yourself production of arresting graphic images and likewise created whole worlds from a combination of conventional piety and idiosyncratic obsession. Moreover, a Blakean dialectic between innocence and experience pervades all of Darger's literary-pictorial output. The temptation for even a psychoanalytic skeptic to read these scenes as displaced personal drama is virtually irresistible. Darger's images disconcert not just because he sentimentalizes childhood purity to a degree scarcely conceivable in the 20th century but also because he externalizes evil in a way that is distinctly premodern. This titanic Manichean struggle, these armies of dark and light are they a denial of or a metaphor for contending forces within? Even if Darger's pictures were not as strange and gorgeous as they are, his hallucinatory writings and tragic life-history might well hold sympathizers in thrall despite a queasy suspicion that this gifted recluse may have been, in sensibility if not in documented fact, a pedophile.

Extractions: AMERICAN FOLK ART MUSEUM, NEW YORK When Henry Darger diedin 1973, at the age of 81he was mainly known to his neighbors as a retired hospital orderly, perhaps a little eccentric but not so much so as to preserve him from virtually total social invisibility. Yet when Darger's landlord, Nathan Lerner, cleaned out his tenant's Chicago apartment, he discovered a body of images and writings that are recognized today as the work of one of the greatestand oddestof America's self-taught artists. "Darger: The Henry Darger Collection" coincides with the museum's fortieth anniversary and the start of a new life signified by a new name and a new building. Formerly called the Museum of American Folk Art, the institution has effected a small but significant edit to its title that lets a museum dedicated to American art reestablish itself as an American museum concerned with art from around the world. The airy new building, designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien and Associates, is currently under construction on Fifty-third Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, down the block from both the American Craft Museum and The Museum of Modern Art. The light-filled space is certain to improve on the museum's current digs near Lincoln Center, however it eventually turns outand there is every reason to expect it will turn out beautifully.

The story I have to tell this time is a ghastly indictment of human lethargy and short-sightedness in dealing with the homicidal spiritual pervert ... I the writer declare before God that it need not have happened if parents would listen to reason and keep by force their children away from Seseman's dangerous house. A little nine year old girl had been strangled, raped, and horribly murdered, not by a wicked sex man monster this time, as at first supposed, but by one of the fierce demons in Seseman's house itself.

Issue 3 Summer 2001 The Moral Storm henry dargers Book of Weather Reports The Reports will soon be part of the henry darger Study Center at the museum.
http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/issues/3/henrydarger.php

Extractions: He was right on the prediction of snow flurries and becoming very windy today, but the snow was very fine. He said little change in temperature but he was greatly wrong in that. It was 8 below, and 5 above was warmest. And he had said high in the 20s. He was right, though, on West to Northwest wind, but wrong on increasing to 18 to 28 miles per hour. It was between 30 and 40 miles per hour. As a preface to the epic struggle between the seven Vivian Girls and the satanic Glandelinians, the Realms begins with a climatic description of the edenic period in a province called Calverinia, where the Glandelinians will soon institute child slavery and thus bring about the wars with the Catholic nations in Dargers world (1000 times the size of earth and with trillions of inhabitants): There were never cold winters nor terrific windstorms nor anything to make people afraid. But in the fashion of any good horror movie, such serenity serves only as a foil for the wild disruptions to follow. And it is precisely a storm that signals the end of this golden age. As in the Bible, then, part of the fall is a fall into weather , into atmosphere as mutable, and motivated by forces beyond ones control.
