Scope and Contents
This well illustrated book clearly presents Wolfli's life, art, and pyschiatric disturbances. The editor indicates that Wolfli sold his art from the mental institution where he was confined until his death in 1930 of intestinal cancer. His work was rediscovered by Dubuffet after WW II. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
