Judith Scott - artist extraordinary 1943-2005 |
|
"One of the most important artists of the twentieth century, not only in Art Brut,
"One of the most important bodies of work – ‘insider’ or ‘outsider’ – produced anywhere, and under any circumstances,
in the past twenty years."
Mistakenly branded in childhood as profoundly retarded, Judy was to spend thirty-five
dismal years in institutional custody before the love of her twin
sister intervened to obtain her release, setting her on that mythic journey from darkness into
light, which would win for her international acclaim as an artist of exceptional talent and originality.
