How funny - I’ve never quite thought about my beginnings as aĭL: What has been your own experience with Nantucket ghosts?īB: Hmm, well, I did have an odd experience on Nantucket that made me listen carefully to the strangeĮxperiences of others. The ghosts, oddly, gave me a reason to speak out and a place to hide as a Nantucket even then, but it wasn’t until I heard some stories about real ghosts a couple of years later As a shy kid who had always wanted to make books, I know I longed to write about There were no skyscrapers, no wide sidewalks,Īnd few right angles.

She paints a surreal world―sometimes full of terror and sometimes of beauty―in which “the Captain” rules her by the rod and the school’s corridors are filled with wolves. Painful recollections of moments of humiliation inflicted by thoughtless medical professionals are juxtaposed with Lauveng’s own understanding of how such patients are outwardly irrational and often violent. Lauveng illuminates her loss of identity, her sense of being controlled from the outside, and her relationship to the voices she heard and her sometimes terrifying hallucinations. A Road Back from Schizophrenia gives extraordinary insight into the logic (and life) of a schizophrenic. For ten years, Arnhild Lauveng suffered as a schizophrenic, going in and out of the hospital for months or even a year at a time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Interviewing dealers, collectors, curators, and critics and venturing into the backwoods and inner-city homes of numerous self-taught artists, Fine describes how authenticity is central to the system in which artists-often poor, elderly, members of a minority group, or mentally ill-are seen as having an unfettered form of expression highly valued in the art world. Fine considers the differences among folk art, outsider art, and self-taught art, explaining the economics of this distinctive art market and exploring the dimensions of its artistic production and distribution. After spending years immersed in the world of self-taught artists, Gary Alan Fine presents Everyday Genius, one of the most insightful and comprehensive examinations of this network and how it confers artistic value. Celebrated for their lack of traditional training and their position on the fringes of society, outsider artists nonetheless participate in a traditional network of value, status, and money. From Henry Darger's elaborate paintings of young girls caught in a vicious war to the sacred art of the Reverend Howard Finster, the work of outsider artists has achieved unique status in the art world. ![]() ![]() He gave a lecture at 9 PM in the tent amphitheater, speaking in French to the largest audience of the festival.

In this time and place, even the hint of magic can be enough to have one burned at the stake. If she wants to retain her human form, she must find love. If she doesn’t return to the sea every third night, she’ll sicken and die. The goddess Gaea, Undine’s mother, takes pity on CC and transforms her into a human so she might take shelter on land.
