If you are ever in Chicago the gallery Intuit has a Henry Darger room. The gallery took possession of the contents of Dargers one room apt. It is worthwhile to see it along with other outsider art. No fee to visit the gallery. No appointment necessary. Just check internet for hours. jean wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10380435791596841268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190343338732844769.post-60011538142750791082017-09-06T14:01:26.627-07:002017-09-06T14:01:26.627-07:00Okay, just wanted to make sure this worked before ...Okay, just wanted to make sure this worked before I wrote a bunch. I seem to have difficulty making comments on this page. Anyway, I've been meaning to thank you more sincerely than a coupla likes on FB for your sterling blogposts. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.<br />Now....regarding the VIvian girls. They are not my offspring. They are the progeny of Henry Darger, the most famous outsider artist in America. (There may be other contenders). But I urge you to make a few googles around Darger and the Viv Girls because if I pass along my sesame seed of knowledge it will likely be wrong or misguided and you should come to it with your own eyes anyway. (Begin Your Google Now) (Continue after googling) One of the art jokes I've pursued over the years is "whatever happened to the Vivian girls?" (I'm not alone in this sort of speculation.)<br />The other thing about this particular Viv Girl card is that I made it while visiting my 101 year old mother in July. I didn't have access to my electronic toys so I made a bunch of things by hand. All these faces were cribbed from a clothing catalog my mom received. What struck me about it is that every single model was happy, happy, happy. And that seemed to be a good outcome for the heavily traumatized Viv girls. <br />I may have to make an alternate world card with the Vivian Family you've conjured. "Something About the Hair" is screaming for an album cover. Thanks again. Your friend in Santa Fe,<br />Dave<br />David Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072262957796763237noreply@blogger.com
