Description
Mary Nohl: Inside & Outside offers the first comprehensive look into the unusual life of a remarkable artist whose surroundings stand as a monument to her creative personality. Establishing Nohl as a notable 'outsider' artist, Barbara Manger and Janine Smith offer an inside look at an artist whose idiosyncratic art-pieces whose allure is only heightened by the intrigue and legends surrounding their creator-attracted generations of visitors who peered through the fence at Nohl's wildly decorated yard but rarely caught a glimpse of the elusive artist.

Reviews
Mary Nohl's legacy, like her heroic, oversized sculptures, will stand the test of time thanks in no small part to Barbara Manger's sensitive portrayal of the often-misunderstood artist who cared little for fame and fortune." - Laurie Winters, Executive Director, Museum of Wisconsin Art
"It is important to extol Mary's art with a new edition of this book and by restoring and conserving her art." - Ros Couture, lifelong friend of Mary Nohl
"Mary Nohl was a Wisconsin original, and this book is as fresh, as bold, and as visually compelling as its subject." - John Gurda, Milwaukee historian and author of Milwaukee: A City Built on Water
