Madman or genius? Well... madman. But being confined to an asylum (with one of his symptoms described as "manic invention") didn't keep <a href="http://www.karl-hans-janke.de">Karl Hans Janke</a> from developing elaborate theories of <a href="http://karl-hans-janke.de/images/Generator.jpg">atomic energy</a>, flight, <a href="http://karl-hans-janke.de/images/Venusland.jpg">space travel</a> and the history of humanity, creating over 4,000 complex drawings and even models over 40 years of incarceration for paranoid schizophrenia. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.peenemuende.de/hti/fileadmin/user_upload/Ausstellungskatalog_Janke_vs_von_Braun.pdf">This PDF</a> (found courtesy of <a href="http://www.thingsmagazine.net/">things magazine</a>) is the catalogue of a museum exhibition of Janke's work in Peenemünde in 2007, and features English and German articles and <strong>loads</strong> of scans of Janke drawings. I don't read German, so I suspect I'm missing all the best bits.
I discovered Janke through <a href="http://www.cabinetmagazine.org">Cabinet Magazine</a> (<a href="http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=%22cabinet+magazine%22+site%3Ametafilter.com&btnG=Search&meta=">previously</a>), which I think is the best periodical in North America at the moment.
Incidentally, the link to the gallery from the main page of the Janke site doesn't work; the correct link is <a href="http://www.karl-hans-janke.de/galerieuk.html">this one</a>. There's even a <a href="http://www.karl-hans-janke.de/shopuk.html">shop</a> if you want your own Venusland poster.post:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.72199Mon, 02 Jun 2008 09:00:08 -0800ShepherdJankespace-travelinventionmentaldisordergeniusmadmancabinetBy: cowbellemoo

¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
