Alfred Kubin (1877-1959) was an Austrian Expressionist, illustrator, and writer. He was considered insane until he found art and was supposedly "cured". I don't really know...I don't think he did anything bad when they let him out of the asylum...but he did a lot of good art. He only did a few oil paintings, most of his work consists of pen and ink drawings, lithos, and watercolors. He is insane...and insanely talented.
