Rövid leírás:
"The three essays in this volume make a real contribution to the field. The piece by Elka Spoerri, who was the grande dame of Wölfli studies, is wonderfully accessible and reflects groundbreaking scholarship. It will reach a wide audience and will make a great text for any art history class. Bauman's well-written essay stands as the definitive contextualization of Wölfli's place within twentieth-century art history. Gomez's innovative and compelling exploration of whether Wölfli as a mentally ill artist intended to accomplish what he did complements the other, more straightforward historical essays."--Jenifer Borum

Despite being institutionalized for schizophrenia at age thirty-one, Adolf Wölfli (1864-1930) achieved artistic greatness in his cell at Waldau Mental Asylum near his native Bern, Switzerland. He has had a profound influence on modern art ever since; André Breton described his work as "one of the three or four most important oeuvres of the twentieth century." The Art of Adolf Wölfli offers a fresh vantage point on the artist's remarkably intricate drawings and astonishing collages, as well as his newly translated writings, which are justly celebrated for their dizzying blend of mythology and humor. Also included are illuminating essays by leading specialists on his art and life.
Wölfli's youth was one of deprivation. His alcoholic father ran off when Wölfli was five, and his mother died soon after. Despite these travails, he managed to complete his education, acquiring the sophisticated literacy so evident in his later work. However, beginning at age twenty-six, his repeated attempts to molest young girls landed him first in jail and, in 1894, in the asylum. Though violent at first, by 1899 he calmed down--and began to draw.
Working primarily in pencil on newsprint, Wölfli created a dense, stunningly detailed medley of wildly imaginative prose texts interwoven with poems, musical compositions, color illustrations, and collages. His five-part magnum opus, "St. Adolf-Giant-Creation," comprises 45 large volumes and 16 notebooks--25,000 pages in all--containing 1,620 drawings and 1,640 collages.
Sure to be the authoritative resource for this remarkable oeuvre, this striking book represents compelling testimony that great torment does not preclude great art.

"Wölfli was an obsessive artist par excellence. He spent the last 35 years of his life locked up . . . and in that time he produced thousands of pages of intricate drawings and novelistic narratives. . . . [He] was recognized as a creative power before his death. . . . After his death in 1930, Wölfli's popularity grew among adherents of Surrealism and those stressing the importance of buried, asocial consciousness."---Carly Berwick, ArtNews Több
