Achilles Gildo Rizzoli (1896–1981), anonymous during his lifetime, has since his death become celebrated as an outsider artist. He is an unusual example of an "outsider" artist who had considerable formal training in drawing. Born in Marin County, California, Rizzoli lived in San Francisco, where he was employed as an architectural draftsman. In the 1930s he showed his work in exhibits held in his home, which he called the Achilles Tectonic Exhibit Portfolio (A.T.E.P.) 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=American Folk Art )〕 After his death, a group of elaborate drawings came to light, many in the form of maps and architectural renderings that described an imaginary world exposition (much of which was designated "Y.T.T.E.", for "Yield To Total Elation").〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Art of Architectural Drawing )〕 The drawings include "portraits" of his mother (whom he lived with until her death in 1937) and neighborhood children "symbolically sketched" in the form of fanciful neo-baroque buildings. Rizzoli published one novel, ''The Colonnade'' (1931), under the pseudonym Peter Metermaid. A film was made about his life and work, called ''Yield to Total Elation: The Life and Art of Achilles Rizzoli''. ==External links== *(Web site for the film ''Yield to Total Elation'' ) *(The Ames Gallery ''the Artists'' profile of A.G.
