"Tiger=Zohrn=Riesen=Gletscher,=Hochalp=Stok, in Nordwest=Indien," a 1917 drawing by Swiss artist Adolf Wölfli, exemplifies the unique visual language of this self-taught artist. Wölfli, an individual confined to an asylum for much of his life, created a vast and intricate body of work filled with fantastical imagery and symbolic narratives. This particular drawing features a complex composition with recurring motifs like masked figures, crosses, and a "house" nestled within a landscape of mountains, trees, and birds. Wölfli's work, often described as "Art Brut," is characterized by its raw and instinctive expression, offering a powerful and moving glimpse into the artist's inner world.
