The 15,145-page single-spaced typescript recounts an epic struggle on an imaginary planet between the child-enslaving Glandelinians, some of whom are versions of Henry Darger himself, and the good Abbiennians, led by the Vivian Girls, seven young princesses aided by various heroes, some of whom are also versions of Henry Darger.

I was fascinated by little girls when I was a little boy, and their clothes and their games and their dolls appealed to me much more than what little boys are doing. Therefore I was sort of ostracized. (Rehak 15)

29. Zingmagazine | Issue #4 | Reviews | Henry Darger They are the tenets of children s book folklore and, unfortunately, there is no clever transition into the otherworld of Outsider Artist henry darger; http://www.zingmagazine.com/zing4/reviews/07darger.html

Henry Darger by E.Tage Larsen This is neither tawny, cobble-road delusion nor rabbit-holed excursion, and there's no moral at the end. Those are the gateways and postscripts which make adventures into the unknown a little more comfortable. They are the tenets of children's book folklore and, unfortunately, there is no clever transition into the otherworld of Outsider Artist Henry Darger; in fact, you aren't even invited. Last winter's Henry Darger retrospective at the Museum of American Folk Art was a monument to the most obsessively perverse act of genius swingin' under the big top. My introduction to Outsider Art was through the virtue and great patience of a collector friend in Salt Lake City, Utah. Outsider Art is a blanket term used to imply unschooled artists whose particular dalliance or psychosis is a catalyst to brilliance. Salt Lake City, under the rule of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-Day Saints, the Mormons, certainly brandishing its own aberrance, attracts a lot of oddball allegiances to counteract the ubiquitous religious fervor. I was surprised at how much of the fringe element stopped through on its way to everywhere else. Having spent the '90s being anywhere but Salt Lake City, I take it as no small irony that my reintroduction to Outsider Art would be in the form of the Henry Darger exhibition at the Museum of American Folk Art, located across from Lincoln Center, on 65th and Columbus, sharing the building with the only New York City ward of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-Day Saints.

Limited Editions Issue 3 Summer 2001 The Moral Storm: Henry Darger's Book of Weather Reports Lytle Shaw He was right on the prediction of snow flurries and becoming very windy today, but the snow was very fine. He said little change in temperature but he was greatly wrong in that. It was 8 below, and 5 above was warmest. And he had said high in the 20s. He was right, though, on West to Northwest wind, but wrong on increasing to 18 to 28 miles per hour. It was between 30 and 40 miles per hour. Henry Darger, January 20, 1963 In the Realms of the Unreal As a preface to the epic struggle between the seven Vivian Girls and the satanic Glandelinians, the Realms begins with a climatic description of the edenic period in a province called Calverinia, where the Glandelinians will soon institute child slavery and thus bring about the wars with the Catholic nations in Darger's world (1000 times the size of earth and with trillions of inhabitants): "There were never cold winters nor terrific windstorms nor anything to make people afraid." But in the fashion of any good horror movie, such serenity serves only as a foil for the wild disruptions to follow. And it is precisely a storm that signals the end of this golden age. As in the Bible, then, part of the fall is a fall into weather , into atmosphere as mutable, and motivated by forces beyond one's control.

Born in Chicago in 1892, Darger lived a solitary life in a one-bedroom apartment on the city’s North Side. He collected and catalogued a diverse assortment of objects—from balls of string and Pepto-Bismol bottles to children’s books, comics, and magazines—which he used as inspiration for much of his work. Anchored by two double-sided collage and watercolor drawings, the exhibition features excerpts from Darger’s massive tale The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What Is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion—commonly referred to as In the Realms of the Unreal. This work, begun in 1910 and spanning more than 17,000 single-spaced typed pages, took Darger more than 20 years to complete and provided the foundation for all his art. The book is illustrated with more than 300 drawings and mural-size collages that employ tracing, carbon copying, and graphite drawings. It tells the story of the seven Vivian sisters as they fight battles in a war of good versus evil.

@import url( http://www.ibiblio.org/frenchart/wp-content/themes/tree/style.css ); On Outsider Art and the Margins of the Mainstream By Marcus Davies Friday, April 6th, 2007 Henry Darger: Protector of Children, Destroyer of Worlds Any insight into the life and work of Henry Darger (1892-1973) must begin with two images, images that have become iconic in the study of outsider art. The first is a black and white photograph of Darger, taken near the end of the artist’s life by his neighbor, David Berglund. In the photo Darger sits on a flight of wooden steps, his shoulders stooped beneath a frayed jacket. His gaze is cast downwards and his eyes reveal the weariness of a life lived beyond its purpose. In his left hand he holds a pair of glasses, their heavy frames held together with a thick wrapping of black electrical tape. The second image, again a photograph by Berglund, is of Darger’s home: a cluttered room in the Chicago tenement where Darger spent the majority of his years in isolation, laboring over what has come to light as an incredibly unique and vastly influential grand opus of raw psychology. In 1917, living alone and supported by a salary that was modest at best, Darger began the process of reconstructing his shattered family by attempting to adopt a child. When his repeated efforts were met with an almost predictable string of rejections Darger’s desire for love and companionship began a decisive turn inwards. Still searching for the child to which he was denied in reality, a richly symbolic substitute was found in a newspaper clipping from the

ABOUT THE FILM ABOUT HENRY DARGER DIRECTOR'S NOTES REVIEWS "Jessica Yu's elegant new doc IN THE REALMS OF THE UNREAL is a spry, creative response to his oceanic talent and claustrophobic life." -Ed Park, Village Voice "A thoughtful and inspired exploration of the man's life and leaves the viewer with a sense of wonder about the lives of countless people with unknown talents that deserve recognition." -John McMurtie, San Francisco Chronicle About Henry Darger In 1973, at a Catholic poor house in Chicago, an 81-year-old retired janitor quietly died. His name was Henry Darger. Just months earlier, he had moved from the rented room where he had lived for over 40 years. When his landlords, Nathan and Kiyoko Lerner, cleaned out the clutter room, they discovered paintings: hundreds of brilliant watercolors, some over 10 feet long. The images were disturbing and mysteriously beautiful: little girls frolicking under stormy skies, little girls fighting soldiers, little girls being rescued by fantastic winged creatures. In many images, the girls were drawn naked, with penises. For information about Henry Darger and his artwork, visit
