Two posts in one day. must be a record! Been looking at the outsider artists today. Prompted by a conversation with Clint over a beer last night, he's a commercial artist, been a bit of a buzz about a guy called Alfred Rattera. Supposed to have done some really interesting stuff visually about explaining the universe through a mathematic, mystical, artistic alphabet. Sounds right up my street, bit of a problem though, nobody can see the work and its all locked up in some archive in the UK. Internet search reveals very little. The archive have a ropy web site which is constantly going on and offline with a few pics but not much more. He was a musician too, and made some great music apparently. Any leads or links that anybody has about him would be great.
In the meantime, have been looking at the work of Adolf Wölfli, i some!times have to work with mentally ill in my job as carer. Some of the art therapy I see is very interesting this guy is summat else. Lots of stuff out there on him, sure his work sells for a pretty price too
