The outsider life of artist Henry Darger
(Chicago Tribune Religion News)

The world of Henry Darger, the solitary Chicago janitor who became an icon of outsider art after his death, is already a deep and many-chambered rabbit hole. Darger spent most of his adult life in a one-room apartment in Lincoln Park, a neighborhood much less tony in his time. When he died in 1973, his landlords and neighbors, who were virtually his only friends, discovered in the apartment a riot of creative output.
