ALLDERIDGE, PATRICIA - The Late Richard Dadd, 1817-1886

One of the most bizarre painters of all time, the English artist Dadd murdered his father and spent the remainder of his life confined in England's lunatic asylum, Bethlehem Hospital, otherwise known as "Bedlam." Believed to be a schizophrenic, he painted weird pictures, often populated with fairies, notable for their horror vacui (obsessive need to cover an entire surface in an all-over fashion). This is the authoritative publication on this interesting artist. Very Good.
