Book Description:
Recently interest has surged in what Jean Dubuffet called Art Brut, raw art produced by persons operating outside cultural norms, reflecting inner need rather than any official artistic attitude. Of the known practitioners of Art Brut, one of the most gifted was the Swiss peasant Adolf W lfli. From 1895, when he was thirty one, until his death in 1930, W lfli was incarcerated in Waldau hospital, severely afflicted with rage and depression. Supplied with colored pencils and paper by his primary physician, Walter Morgenthaler, he began to draw. Morgenthaler s pathbreaking study of W lfli and his art, published in 1921, aimed at the center of contemporary debates about the relationships between creativity, madness, and art. This first English language edition includes twenty four color reproductions of W lfli s art and W lfli s brief account of his own life.
