"Self-taught and working in isolation until his death in 1973, Henry Darger realized an elaborate fantasy world of remarkable beauty and strangeness through hundreds of paintings and an epic written narrative...In the volume's introductory essay, Klaus Biesenbach examines the radical originality of Darger's art, including his use of collage, incorporation of religious themes and iconography, and frequent juxtaposition of innocence with violence. An essay by Brooke Davis Anderson illuminates Darger's source materials and techniques, while another by Michael Bonesteel puts Darger's life in the context of his work. The book also includes Darger's autobiography, A History of My Life, introduced by Carl Watson...Henry Darger offers an authoritative, balanced, and insightful look at an American master"--Publisher's description.

Après la fin de la guerre d'Espagne et plusieurs mois d'enfermement dans le camp français de Septfonds, François Tosquelles (1912-1994), psychiatre catalan, est appelé à l'hôpital de Saint-Alban-sur-Limagnole, en Lozère, en 1940. Bientôt il en fait le creuset d'une révolution psychiatrique et sociale, basée sur l'humanisation des soins et une transformation de la vie collective, où cohabitent patients, soignants, intellectuels, artistes et résistants. Ils sont nombreux à être associés à cette aventure : les pensionnaires et créateurs Auguste Forestier et Marguerite Sirvins, les soignants Paul et Germaine Balvet, Lucien Bonnafé, Frantz Fanon, Gaston Ferdière ou encore les écrivains et artistes Antonin Artaud, Jean Dubuffet, Paul et Nusch Éluard, Tristan Tzara, et bien d'autres. Cette histoire et les pratiques expérimentales de Tosquelles sont au cœur de l'exposition que ce catalogue accompagne, questionnant les rapports entre art, exil et psychiatrie, et la notion de création dans le contexte de l'exclusion, de l'enfermement ou de l'hospitalisation, à la croisée de l'histoire de la psychiatrie, de la politique, de l'art moderne, du surréalisme et de l'art brut ou encore du cinéma d'avant-garde, célébrant ce « droit au vagabondage » du corps et de l'esprit.
