Eugene Von Bruenchenhein (July 31, 1910-1983) was an American outsider artist from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Von Bruenchenhein worked as a baker, a florist, and a grocer. A homemade plaque in his kitchen gave him the epithets of “Eugene Von Bruenchenhein—Freelance Artist, Poet and Sculptor, Inovator [sic], Arrow maker and Plant man, Bone artifacts constructor, Photographer and Architect, Philosopher.”
He painted colorful apocalyptic landscapes (started in 1954 in response to the development of the hydrogen bomb) using brushes made of his wife and muse, Marie’s, hair.

Towards the end of the 1960s Dubuffet turned increasingly to sculpture, producing works in polystyrene which he then painted with vinyl paint.

The Henry Moore pieces earlier today reminded me of some of Bill Brandt’s extraordinary photographs of limbs and pebbles:

Fence sweaters

I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.
Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—
I, too, am America.
