Henry Darger


I am not really too sure if Henry Darger was "mentally ill" i think he definitely had psychological problems and he was different. The people that knew Henry best knew how to treat him, but most people were standoffish towards him, they didn't know how to act around him so most of the time they just didn't even give him the time of day. Henry was creative, his mind and imagination were out of this world. There never has been nor will there ever be an individual that can recreate what he did. He's art will be talked about for a long time to come i think, he is a visionary, someone that sees things that most people either over look or never look to. I think he was truly creative and we should continue to study his material and look for more people to be like him.

  1. I definatly agree with you when you said that people were standoffish towards him and and didn't give him the time of day. I just wonder why he never told the people he was in close contact with that he was creating this masterpeice.
