Lookalikes #39: Henry Darger and Marcel Dzama

I’ve written about Henry Darger previously; Marcel Dzama is a contemporary artist who also works in sculpture, film and collage. His paintings have adorned album covers, he’s had books published. Henry Darger, outsider artist, was a caretaker and hermit, creating his deeply personal art in his apartment at night. I love both Darger and Dzama, but almost can’t imagine Dzama’s art existing if it wasn’t for Darger.
