Henry Darger (1892-1973) was a hospital janitor and an immensely productive 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. Trade Books>Trade Paperback>Art,Design & Photography>Artists>Artists, Duke University Press Core >1<

At night, Henry Darger (1892-1973) brought extraordinary fictional worlds to life in drawings, paintings, and texts. During the day, he earned a living as a hospital janitor. Challenging the widespread conception of Darger as an eccentric loner, Michael Moon reveals the artist to have been immersed in his world and time. Moon interprets Darger's art as a remarkably expressive, albeit often disturbing, imaginative record of the joys and terrors of the lives of millions of denizens of the twentieth century. The artist engaged with the burgeoning mass culture of the early twentieth century, from popular religious art to children's illustrated books for and newspaper comic strips. Drawing on diverse sources from newspaper accounts of the anniversaries of U.S. Civil War battles to the virgin-martyr theater that was long a staple of parochial-school education, Darger fashioned his own style of narrating and depicting the epic of his adored Vivian Girls and their adult and child allies. Darger is often relegated to the category of "outsider artist." Moon contest that characterization, arguing that Darger's work deserves and rewards comparison with such contemporaries as the newspaper cartoonist Bud Fisher, the "pulp historians" H. P. Lovecraft and Robert Howard, and the Oz chronicler L. Frank Baum. Media > Book, [PU: Duke University Press]<
