Folksy

The Spanish psychiatrist Francesc Tosquelles exiled at a French asylum during WWII, where he deconstructed the experience of being institutionalized.

Tosquelles was a pioneer in his field.

His patients included Auguste Forestier, whose brut sculptures are very powerful.

The American Folk Art Museum has created a masterly exhibit as a testament to the denizens of Saint-Alban.

This exhibit closes Sunday, so visit soon if you can.

If you miss this one, there are always intriguing works of “self- taught” art displayed at 2 Lincoln Square.  Exhibits are always free.
