The Art of Adolf Wolfli: St. Adolf-Giant Creation Hardcover - 2003
by Elka Spoerri; Daniel Baumann; Edward M. Gomez
Despite being institutionalized for schizophrenia at age, Adolf Wolfli (1864-1930) achieved artistic greatness in his cell at Waldau Mental Asylum near his native Bern, Switzerland. "The Art of Adolf Wolfli" 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.
