Forrest’s Reviews > Henry Darger > Status Update

Darger's work is monumental. Biesenbach's introduction, while acknowledging and carefully documenting instances where Darger's influence was cited by other artists, stretches things a bit much by connecting his interpretation of other artists' motivations with those of Darger. It's too much of a stretch, and it's too bad. Biesenbach could have just left well enough alone, but he did too much academic showboating.
