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.
