The prolific and narcissistic
Wölfli
is often considered the patron
saint of
art brut.
Jean Dubuffet
discovered his work on an investigative trip to Switzerland, where
he met with Dr Walter Morgenthaler, the pioneering physician
who published a monograph
on his patient-artist.
Wölfli’s
semi-autobiographical output
was
fêted by the surrealists for
its dense indecipherable prose,
complex musical annotation
and ethnological influences.
