Identified by the well-known art historian John MacGregor as a great American Outsider Artist, Dwight Mackintosh was 72 years old when he began working at Creative Growth after a lifetime of living in institutions. During his 20 years at the organization, he developed a remarkable visual language to depict favored imagery: self-portraits, buses, and rows of figures. Mackintosh also explores text as abstracted imagery by turning letters into flowing graphic elements that tumble across the composition.
