ALLDERIDGE, PATRICIA The Late Richard Dadd, 1817-1886
London, Tate Gallery. 1974. (ISBN: 0900874783) Soft Cover , 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Exhibition Catalogue, 172 pp. illus. (some col.), geneal. table, 2 maps, plan, ports. (some col.), biblio. index; 31 cm. Firm binding, gently creased spine. Clean inside copy. Age toning. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. 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.
