Life Lines: the Drawings of Charles Steffen June 15, 2010

Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art presents 'Life Lines: The Drawings of Charles Steffen.' This retrospective features 30 pieces of Charles Steffen's work, covering a variety of imagery he knew in his limited sphere: neighbors, his mother, flowers and plants from the yard, a woman he once loved, and scenes from the Elgin State Hospital. More fantastical drawings show his experimentation in creating human forms merged with plants and distorting or combining male and female features.
