I'm interested in what they would say about Henry Darger...

Henry Darger is an incredibly interesting dude. I have a book of his art and it's mindblowing. Recommended.

Henry Darger means a lot to me. I haven't yet read the article, but have seen the film it discusses, which I highly recommend!
I feel very lucky to have seen a few originals at the folk art museum in New York.
Paul, I imagine there must be some originals in Chicago, seeing as he was from there? They had his Room open for visitors for a long time, but when I was in chi-town in '98 I'd never heard of him, so didn't go. Do you have the Michael Bonesteel book? What a wonderful book.

Because it includes Darger's narrative text along with all the pictures. Did you ever visit his room?
