Oversized Hardcover. Condition: Good. An authoritative, balanced, and insightful look at the self-realized & eccentric American artist, this publication offers a fresh perspective on Darger's elaborate fantasy world expressed over a period of decades in hundreds of works on paper, many of them panoramas extending ten feet or mor…e. Klaus Biesenbach avoids psychological speculation & controversy about Darger's 'outsider' status, instead approaching his art on its own terms to reveal a radical orginality, uncover Darger's motivationsand explain how he worked. Nearly 200 works are reproduced, often as double-page spreads, which include eight three-page gatefolds - in color.

Features contributions by Brooke Davis Anderson, Michael Bonesteel, and Carl Watson and with Henry Darger's "The History of My Life." Includes numerous color illustrations by Darger who toiled his enti…re life (in complete anonymity) on an often disturbing artistic output. It was only after he died that his work came to light and it has now been the subject of numerous exhibitions and critical acclaim. A near fine copy with some very faint foxing to the page edges and a small tear to the top of the front free endpaper and in a near fine dust jacket. Still a pleasing copy of one of the better books on Darger. Please note that this is a heavy book and will require extra shipping.

(3 in color. ) -- with a bonus offer--; Henry Darger (1892?1973) was a hospital janitor and an immensely producti…ve artist and writer. In the first decades of adulthood, he wrote a 15,145-page fictional epic, In the Realms of the Unreal. He spent much of the rest of his long life illustrating it in astonishing drawings and watercolors. In Darger's unfolding saga, pastoral utopias are repeatedly savaged by extreme violence directed at children, particularly girls. Given his disturbing subject matter and the extreme solitude he maintained throughout his life, critics have characterized Darger as eccentric, deranged, and even dangerous, as an outsider artist compelled to create a fantasy universe. Contesting such pathologizing interpretations, Michael Moon looks to Darger's resources, to the narratives and materials that inspired him and often found their way into his writing, drawings, and paintings. Moon finds an artist who reveled in the burgeoning popular culture of the early twentieth century, in its newspaper comic strips, pulp fiction, illustrated children's books, and mass-produced religious art. Moon contends that Darger's work deserves and rewards comparison with that of contemporaries of his, such as the "pulp historians" H. P. Lovecraft and Robert Howard, the Oz chronicler L. Frank Baum, and the newspaper cartoonist Bud Fisher.

The trove included massive, multi-volume 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. Cataloguing in full color the American Folk Art Museum's recent acquisition of 37 paintings, among other Darger works, this informative yet affordable volume offers a general introduction to a controversial self-taught artist.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Voluminous study of the life & work of Chicago artist Henry Darger. Foreword by Nathan Lerner. Numerous full-colour and b&w illustrations and photographs throughout. Many double-page spreads. With two large foldout plates, as issued. Includes appendices, comprehensive chapter notes, sel…ected bibliography, plus index. First Edition, with copyright page showing: "2002 This first hardbound edition" & no later printing dates. Large thick oblong tome. "Henry Joseph Darger, Jr. (1892-1973) was a reclusive American writer & artist who worked as a hospital custodian in Chicago, Illinois. He has become famous for his posthumously discovered 15,145-page, single-spaced fantasy manuscript called The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion, along with several hundred drawings & watercolor paintings illustrating the story. The visual subject matter of his work ranges from idyllic scenes in Edwardian interiors & tranquil flowered landscapes populated by children & fantastic creatures, to scenes of horrific terror & carnage depicting young children being tortured & massacred. Much of his artwork is mixed media with collage elements. Darger's artwork has become one of the most celebrated examples of outsider art." From the introduction: "On a snowy day in November 1972, a poor, badly crippled old man left his room on the third floor of a rooming house in Chicago for the last time. His name was Henry Darger. He had lived in the room for forty years. It was filthy, crammed with his possessions, mostly things found in the garbage. Henry never threw anything out. The room was filled, almost solid, with junk. Henry was now eighty years old & far too feeble to carry anything down the stairs. So he left everything behind. He had no need of his possessions anyway: he was going to an old folks home to die. When Darger's landlord, Nathan Lerner (an American artist of very considerable reputation), assisted by a young student, David Berglund, began to clean out Henry's room they found some surprises: an eight-volume autobiography, consisting of 5,084 handwritten pages, & entitled The History of My Life, which Henry had begun writing in 1963 after retiring. Then, when the old trunks were opened, they made a far more spectacular discovery: a history of another world called In the Realms of the Unreal, in fifteen volumes, 15,145 typewritten pages, unquestionably the longest work of fiction ever written. In time the room also yielded the three huge bound volumes of illustrations for that work, several hundred pictures, many over 12 feet long and painted on both sides. By accident, the landlord had stumbled upon a concealed & secret life work which no one had ever seen: Darger's alternate world. As far as we know, and the question has been investigated in detail, Henry Darger never showed his pictures or his writings to anyone. He never sought to exhibit the paintings, never tried to publish the writings. Although he worked on In the Realms of the Unreal & its sequels, from 1911 when he was nineteen years old, until 1971 when he was seventy-nine, writing & painting constantly night after night for sixty years, he hid the product of his creative activity in his room & never told anyone about it". Printed in China. Bound in publisher's original colour pictorial boards, photographic endpapers. No dustjacket issued. A FINE very nice clean tight solid hardcover copy. 720pp. Very heavy large volume (over 3.5kg), extra shipping may be required for destinations outside Australia. Scarce book, in fine collectable condition. RARE.
