Download or read book Darger's Resources written by Michael Moon and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moon turns his attention to the artist Henry Darger, an eccentric and self-taught artist whose work was only discovered after his death. Since then the work has become famous, but Darger himself has generally been seen as a withdrawn outsider artist whose work may have been the result of mental illness. Moon provides a contrasting view of a creative and gifted artist very responsive to the world around him.
