Re: [Fwd: Voynich Manuscript + James Hampton]



	Thanks, Bruce.  Darger's art doesn't remind me of most
outsider art.  I don't find that he has the visionary
quality usually seen in outsider art; rather it reminds
me of Impressionism.  I suppose the little girls one
sees throughout are the Vivian girls.  Here's a scene
of them nude:

	These are hardly Voynich nymphs.  The nymphs are plump
and quite mature looking.
