Original Title: TIL that Emma Hauck (1878–1920) was a German outsider artist known for the letters she wrote to her husband while in a mental hospital. The letters were never delivered but are now regarded as art for their abstraction and repetition, often just “Come sweetheart” or “Come” written repeatedly.
