Description
Henry Darger's Resources explores the artist and writer behind the 15,145-page fictional epic, In the Realms of the Unreal. Michael Moon delves into the narratives and materials that inspired Darger, revealing an artist who reveled in popular culture of the early twentieth century. Darger's work is often characterized as eccentric or deranged, but Moon contests these interpretations, instead highlighting his fascination with newspaper comic strips, pulp fiction, illustrated children's books, and mass-produced religious art. By examining Darger's resources, Moon sheds new light on an artist whose work deserves comparison with contemporaries such as H.P. Lovecraft, Robert Howard, L. Frank Baum, and Bud Fisher. This book offers a fresh perspective on Darger's life and work, one that challenges prevailing views and reveals the complexity of his artistic vision.
