An "artist" with access to the alien abductees' unconscious?
Henry Joseph Darger, Jr. (/ˈdɑrdʒər/;
ca. April 12, 1892 – April 13, 1973) was a reclusive American writer and artist
who worked as a custodian in Chicago,
Illinois. He has become
famous for his posthumously-discovered 15,145-page, single-spaced fantasy
manuscript called The Story of
the Vivian Girls, in What is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the
Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion, along
with several hundred drawings and watercolor paintings illustrating the story. The visual subject matter of his work
ranges from idyllic scenes in Edwardian interiors and tranquil flowered
landscapes populated by children and fantastic creatures, to scenes of horrific
terror and carnage depicting young children being tortured and massacred. Much
of his artwork is mixed media with collage elements. Darger's artwork has
become one of the most celebrated examples of outsider
art.[Wikipedia]
