Notizie, curiosità e aggiornamenti sull’opera dell’artista Henry Darger e sull’influenza che i suoi scritti e le sue opere grafiche hanno avuto sugli artisti e sull’arte contemporanea.
- Ved. in fondo alla pagina dove sono esposte le opere di Henry Darger, e la lista di mostre, esposizioni e saggi dedicati a lui dedicati


Dopo aver trascorso gli anni dell’adolescenza internato in un istituto, Darger ha lavorato tutta la vita come uomo di fatica negli ospedali, ma alla sua morte nel suo appartamento sono stati trovati tesori letterari e artistici inestimabili: un incredibile romanzo-fiume di oltre 15.000 pagine, più molti altri scritti e circa 350 meravigliose e terribili opere grafiche oggi sparse in molti musei del mondo, tra cui il MoMA di New York e il MAM di Parigi.
Romanzo e opere grafiche illustrano un mondo fantastico in cui i bambini vengono schiavizzati dai terribili Glandeliniani, ma si ribellano e guidati dalle sette sorelle Vivian combattono per salvarsi dalla violenza e dalle torture.
