« I SAW THE HEAD, AND KNEW IT WAS THE ANTICHRIST AND WE COULDN’T STOP IT, AND NOBODY WOULD HEAR ME. »

ON THE OCCASION OF THE INAUGURATION, THE MUSEUM OF EVERYTHING WISHES TO SHARE ONE OF ITS FAVOURITE VISIONARY ARTWORKS: A DREAM PORTRAIT CREATED BY THE LATE AMERICAN ARTIST, MYRTICE WEST.

IN THIS UNSETTLING IMAGE, THE MOST MALEVOLENT OF PUDGY-FACED ORANGE-HAIRED MISCHIEF-MAKERS REIGNS SUPREME. HE GRINS AT THE VIEWER WITH A COCKY ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE. ALL AROUND HIM IS PANDEMONIUM. THE SNAKES, HIS EMISSARIES, SLITHER IN ALL DIRECTIONS, AND TOWARDS ... THE WHITE HOUSE.

THE PAINTING’S TITLE IS: « SATAN TAKES OVER ».

MYRTICE WEST WAS AN APPALACHIAN HOUSEWIFE WHO RECEIVED A CALLING TO PAINT THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS AFTER THE BRUTAL MURDER OF HER ONLY DAUGHTER. IN THIS, PERHAPS THE GREATEST OF HER WORKS, THE CENTRAL CHARACTER BEARS MORE THAN ONE SIMILARITY TO THE FORMER POTUS.

« THERE’S THE ANTICHRIST OR SATAN ENTERING THE SCHOOL. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE SNAKES AS THE BEAST OR THE ANTICHRIST GETTING INTO OUR GOVERNMENT, AND THE FLAG AND THE STARS FALLING. OUR GOVERNMENT BECOMES SATANIC AND TURNS TOWARD US AS THE OLD SERPENT, THE DEVIL, THE GREAT DRAGON. »

Behold Hilma af Klint: the fearless upper-crust visionary Swede, nautical by birth, spiritual by calling, whose sublime predictive material, once the stuff of myth, is a new modernist legend. She leapt from an academic ledge into an unknowable other, drawing the line between the « us » and the « them ».

Record-busting installations in Stockholm, London, Berlin, New York. Literal academics reconsidering their unknowns. The fictions of history, upended a century later. Are these mediumistic neo-botanies, or pre-abstract compulsions? Are they communications of universal truth, or visions and vibrations?

Even these humble late materials resonate. They fly the flag for the underclass of art: for Spiritualism and Outsiderism, for the vernacular and the low, for the silent majority of colourful, various voices. Witness a revolution and the new world order, where Hilma af Klint is rightly proclaimed governess.

Scottie Wilson is the stuff of legend. This self-taught, self-made, self-propelled, self-portraitist was the rambling man who became an honorary surrealist, fêted by ELT Mesens, lauded by André Breton, and collected by everyone from Pablo Picasso to the Royal Family. To see his work for the first time is like meeting old friends from familiar daydreams; they form part of our British visual consciousness.

Wilson’s history is far from straightforward. He was born Louis Freeman, a Jewish lad whose family had moved to Glasgow from Lithuania. Although not much of a scholar, he was able - and skint - so he joined the army, saw the world, settled in Toronto and peddled bric-a-brac. Yet it was in the calm of an afternoon lull that an inked bulldog fountain pen jump-started Robert Wilson’s life’s mission; and in his hand, it drew of its own accord - as if inspired by the Felix Mendelssohn Wilson loved to hear.

The first « greedies » and « evils » were birthed as « original free hand pen drawings by Scottie ». The appeal was immediate, yet the rationale cloudy. Were they scars of the great war, shadows of childhood, stolen images from forgotten peoples, or messages from the divine? The London art world cared not and embraced him fully: his was an unusual mind, with synapses at play. As his Mayfair gallery attempted to sell Scotties to their clientele, at the pub around the corner, the Kilburn mischief-makerwould flog them out of an old suitcase for a couple of pints or a fraction of the retail price.

Few floral artists are as unexpected and innovative as Anna Zemánková, the home-schooled home-maker, whose imagined botany springs from an irrepressible source.

Zemánková rose to prominence through the ranks of classic outsiderism. Yet her output, more mysterious and more formal than that of her peers, builds on the traditions of Czech tapestry and illustration, as much as the legacy of Bohemian Spiritualism.

Zemánková’s flowers, weeds, vegetables and triffids are fanciful, awkward, proud and cosmic. Sketched, shaded and woven, their stems vibrate with intense intimacy, transporting any innocent bystander into their author’s « somewhere else ».

Although it may be claimed that cream rises to the top, it is also scooped off, churned into butter, consumed by children and chucked. So it was with Janet Sobel, a Brighton Beach émigrée, who - despite tremendous originality and flair - was championed and exoticised as a New York « primitive »; and then increasingly disrespected for her age, ethnicity, gender, education and modus for the remainder of her short-blossomed creative life.

Born in the Ukraine at the tail end of the 19th century, Sobel took to drawing and painting in middle-age. Her off-kilter folksy forms evolved into dense and particular abstractions of dripped texture. Critic Clement Greenberg marvelled at Sobel’s faces « peering out from the mottled field of predominantly warm and translucent colour ».

Once wowed by Surrealism, it was Sobel who now caught it’s gaze. Sidney Janis, André Breton, Max Ernst and Peggy Guggenheim all came to tea. Marcel Duchamp chose her. William Rubin chased her. Jackson Po***ck « admitted that these pictures had made an impression on him ». No wonder his bore such striking resemblance.

Born in 1892 of a Trinidadian line, Minnie Eva Evans was already in her forties when she was selected to serve as gate-keeper on a grand southern estate. The dense botanical garden within was the stuff of local legend; and the desirable promotion would surely be a turning point. It was all this, and more.

As a younger woman, a voice within had commanded the devout Evans to « draw or die ». Initial illustrations had been simple pen and ink, biblical in nature, literal in form. Now, a decade later, the output exploded in a big bang of allegory and abstraction. There were shapes and curls and folds and flaps, and more than a hint of the Caribbean. The physical and metaphysical worlds had collided.

The North Carolina artist was interviewed by Nina Howell Starr: the photographer who would go on to become her advocate and curate her first major exhibition at the Whitney Museum of Art in 1975. Few surprises that it took that same New York institution 40 years before it would again acknowledge this intuitive female image-maker with a display of her earliest images: « my very first » and « my second ».

The narcissistic Adolf Wölfli is rightly considered the patron saint of the Art Brut brand. A complex individual (and borderline psychotic), Wölfli was first fêted by the surrealists for his indecipherable prose, discordant musical annotation and ethnological influence.

It was incarceration in a Swiss institution which gave Wölfli the time and space for his epic anti-biography. Yet were it not for Dr Walter Morgenthaler, the pioneering physician who published the patient/artist‘s monograph, there would have been nothing: no volumes of text and image, no translation by Max Ernst, no meeting with Jean Dubuffet, no revival by Harald Szeeman.

Looking at the oeuvre today, there radiates such strange universality, such profound self-absorption: Adolf Wölfli, as radical (and as problematic) as he was 100 years ago, luring us innocents in, with his magnetic mandalas and prophesies of cosmic meaning.
