New Sign Mackintosh, Dwight (1906-1999) was institutionalized shortly after his sixteenth birthday. Dwight Mackintosh spent the next 56 years within the walls of various institutions. Obscure clinical sketches reveal a history of psychosis and possible schizophrenia. Whatever the case, Dwight withdrew from the world. Dwight drew pictures that externalized the artist's inner reality. His intense drawings possess a visual authority and an originality that establishes them as significant works of art. Drawing intensely and self-assuredly, on plain white paper, most often with a felt tip pen, this was an artist whose only means of self-expression was derived from an intense preoccupation with the line. Dwight's work has been carefully documented in recent years as the depth and artistic impact of his drawing has been recognized.
