		Adolf Wolfli's childhood was one of degradation and indigence.
		The youngest of the seven children born to a stonecutter and a laundress, Wolfli, orphaned before his tenth birthday, was made a ward of the community and lived in a succession of wretched foster homes.
		Intermingling reality and fiction, Wolfli's autobiography begins as an adventurous geographical world expedition, of which Doufi (Wolfli's childhood name) is the hero, and expands to a grandiose tale of cosmic war, catastrophe, and conquest with Doufi transformed into St. Adolf II.

	The New Yorker: The Critics: The Art World
		Adolf Wölfli, a Swiss madman, born in 1864, who spent the last thirty-five of his sixty-six years in a psychiatric hospital, is among the greatest of outsider artists.
		Indeed, he could serve as Exhibit A in a study of the outsider phenomenon: cases of wild, solipsistic genius that challenge the values of formal training and cultural initiation, not to mention sanity, in significant art.
		From the age of eight, after his mother died, Adolf worked for room and board with a succession of sometimes abusive farm families.

	Raw Vision
		Up close, with the awesome achievement of Adolf Wolfli's text- and- drawing- and- poetry-and-music-filled books lying open before one's eyes, their rich tumult of wild imaginings and dazzling graphics more vivid than any reproduction could ever convey, the moment is a staggering one.
		Thanks to the painstaking efforts of art historian Elka Spoerri, the curator of the Adolf Wolfli Foundation at the Kunstmuseum Bern, and the research associates with whom she has worked over the past two decades, Wolfli's life story and the structure and breadth of his multi-faceted artistic production have been carefully documented.
		We know that Wolfli was born in the alpine countryside near the Swiss capital of Bern in 1864, became an orphan and farmhand-for-hire while still a child, did a brief stint in the army, and allegedly attempted to molest young girls on three occasions.

		Adolf Wolfi was a schizophrenic Swiss peasant institutionalized from the age of 31 until his death in 1930 after an episode in which he attempted to molest a 3 year old girl.
		While incarcerated in Waldau Hospital, Wolfi was supplied with colored pencils and paper by his doctor, Walter Morgenthaler.
		This led to Wolfi's prodigious output of interrelated drawings, writing, musical compositions and collages, which has made him the most acclaimed example of Art Brut-a term coined by French Jean Dubuffet to describe art made by social misfits.

		Wolfi and his work constitute a magnificent testimonial to the human spirit.
		Born and reared under the most adverse circumstances, abused and abandoned in his childhood, deprived of basic nurturance and only minimally educated, victim of a crippling mental disorder and interned for most of his adult life, he nonetheless produced a massive body of work that has fascinated artists, collectors, and scholars for three generations.

		Many of his mountain scenes actually give me a sense of claustraphobia.
		Many of his pictures give me the same feeling I get from Adolf Wolfi's paintings (Wolfi was a schizophrenic in the 20s and 30s, known for his tendency to cram a canvas with color, figures, and text - no depth, no negative space, just a claustrophobic riot of paint).
		The arrogance of supposed art “connoisseurs” amazes me. This is a fine piece by any standard.
