"When Henry 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. The trove included massive, multivolume illustrated manuscripts, double-sided nine-foot-long watercolor murals, photo-enlarged tracings, and hundreds of sketches. Depicting a turbulent world, these works are the product of the 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." "Cataloging in full color the American Folk Art Museum's recent acquisition of 22 paintings (15 of which are double sided), among other Darger works, this informative yet affordable volume offers a general introduction to a controversial self-taught artist."--BOOK JACKET.
