Following a remarkable donation of 45 works by the artist's estate in 2012–2013, the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris is devoting an exhibition to a 20th-century legend: Henry Darger (1892-1973).

Complemented by loans from international institutions, the exhibition Henry Darger: xxx recreates the imaginary world of an artist now recognised as one of the major representatives of Outsider Art. Self-taught and long a marginal figure on the art scene, Darger created a unique personal realm, a strangely singular mix of historical narrative and American popular culture.
