The Lerners knew he was an artist. Kiyoko is quoted as seeing Henry working on a painting and said to him “Henry you are a very good artist”. He replied “Yes I am!”.

There was no secret discovery. They knew we was an artist.

Henry’s apartment wall were covered with his art. His paintings were in display. Including the one described as his “opus” by a prominent gallery.

Henry Darger ate at the same restaurant every day. He was well loved by the staff. He had friends. William Schloeder was a friend he had for many years.

The “facts” that are being put out there regarding Henry Darger are a sales pitch and not reality.
