This book is the first to examine Henry Darger's conceptual and
visual representation of "girls" and girlhood. Specifically, Leisa
Rundquist charts the artist's use of little girl imagery-his direct
appropriations from mainstream sources as well as girls modified to
meet his needs-in contexts that many scholars have read as puerile
and psychologically disturbed. Consequently, this inquiry qualifies
the intersexed aspects of Darger's protagonists as well as
addresses their inherent cute and little associations that signal
multivocal meanings often in conflict with each other. Rundquist
engages Darger's art through thematic analyses of the artist's
writings, mature works, collages, and ephemeral materials. This
book will be of particular interest to scholars in art history, art
and gender studies, sociology, and contemporary art.
