Henry Darger/ How Often Does That Happen.com
I have recently been introduced (via Josh Rouse) to Henry Darger. Mr Darger is the subject of a film called “In The Realms Of the Unreal, named after the title of Mr. Dargers’ epic novel. His use of color, tone and composition rival that of the dutch masters. My grandfather noticed touches of Japanese influence in his work. Here is a Gallery where his work can be seen. These paintings are so beautiful they make me crazy.
As far as the second thing goes, Leslie called me on my cell phone on Saturday and told me:
“I’m on the side of the highway, where a mango truck has tipped over, and there’s mangos everywhere!”
