Judith Scott was born on May 1st 1943 and passed away, in the arms of her twin sister Joyce, in March 2005 aged 62 years old. Not unlike Adolf Wolfli and Martin Ramirez, Scott lived a life that was broken into distinct parts, but unlike Wolfli and Ramirez it was her freedom from institutionalisation that led to her embarking on her artistic career.

Last time on the Outsider Art Podcast we left Martín Ramírez in 1948, having met Tarmo Pasto, the main actor in his discovery narrative. Pasto would go on to play one of the major roles in the last part of Ramírez’s life as an artist and be the primary source of his story and guardian and promoter of his work as it made it’s way firstly into minor exhibitions and then, via Jim Nutt and Phyllis Kind, into the commercial art world.

First things first – let’s get some of the myths about Martín Ramírez straight – he wasn’t mute, at the time of his committal he was very likely not severely mentally ill, and the Freudian interpretation of a sexualised meaning to his many drawings of trains and tunnels is highly likely to be erroneous and, in the cold light of meaningful biography, wildly out of context...

“The victor (Wolfli), at one with the sacrifice, here in full grandeur; never has the front of the coin contrasted so strongly with the reverse: on the one side, ithyphallic, pursuing some poor little girl, on the other side, cheerful, though always locked in, sleeves rolled up, plug of tobacco in his cheek, in front of a pile of his most vivid creations, which, as an ensemble, represent one of the three or four most important oeuvres of the twentieth century. And, what is not, shall be. Amen, amen: Amen. And thus it shall be.” Andre Breton 1965 Adolf Wolfli on WikiArt - link Cover Art - Adolf Wolfli - The Giant-City, St. Adolf's Hall (1914) Reading List Adolf Wolfli.

In 1916 as part of the second of his narrative works, the Geographic and Algebraic Books, Wolfli assigned himself a new name (which required some explanation), “St. Adolf the I, Great-King of Grenoble-St. Adolf King, Giant-City in Savojen; last named with an additional calculation-supplement of 50 hours is my third-youngest brother as a Great-God! And I am St. Adolf II, Couscous King and King Great-God. Bern, Friday, the 23rd June 1916” After 16 years of concentrated work he must have felt he had earned this enriched sobriquet...
