Saint Mary Castle Giant Grape (Unitif Zohrn Heavy Tons) 1915

Adolf Wölfli, a self-taught artist, created a unique and complex body of work known as the “Wölfli Album” that spanned over 25,000 pages of drawings and text. “Saint Mary Castle Giant Grape (Unitif Zohrn Heavy Tons)” from 1915 exemplifies his distinctive style with its intricate, multi-layered composition. This particular drawing showcases a mix of whimsical and symbolic elements, including a large clock face, swirling forms, and a cluster of grapes. Wölfli's artwork, often created in a mental institution, is a remarkable example of outsider art, capturing his own personal mythology and worldview.
