Op de tentoonstelling 'Strip & Tease' (zie vorige post) is ook werk te zien van de in 1985 op 73-jarige leeftijd overleden kunstenaar Eugene von Bruenchenhein. Bruenchenhein's muze was zijn vrouw Marie die hij eindeloos als een sexgodin portretteerde. In hun keuken hing een bordje met het opschrift 'Eugene Von Brunchenhein / Freelance Artist / Poet and Sculptor / Inovator (sic) / Arrow maker and Plant man / Bone artifacts constructor / Photographer and Architect / Philosopher'. Een ware Homo Universalis dus, die zijn leven lang Outsider bleef:

"For more than 40 years, the artist, who lived in Wisconsin all his life, worked as a baker and gardener by day, and at night produced thousands of art objects that filled his shabby suburban home. Completely self-taught, he never exhibited and no one except his wife Marie ever saw his visionary paintings, sculptures, ceramics and photos until his death in 1983, at age 73."
