"West=Frontt des Zehntheiligen Skt. Adolf=Kathedral=Schiffes in, Skt. Adolf=Heim" is a colorful and intricate drawing by Swiss artist Adolf Wölfli, created in 1916. Wölfli, an untrained artist, produced a vast body of work during his time institutionalized for mental illness. The artwork, filled with repetitive motifs of figures, buildings, and symbols, is a prime example of art brut or outsider art, characterized by its raw, self-taught aesthetic. The scene depicts a fantastical architectural structure, possibly a cathedral or a home, with a focus on its western facade, suggesting a symbolic representation of faith or belief. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details creates a captivating and otherworldly atmosphere. Wölfli's works are highly valued for their unique visual language and the insight they provide into the mind of an artist existing outside traditional artistic norms.
