Seller's Description:
VG/VG never read. Black cloth boards, color-illustrated dust jacket with blue and black lettering. 444 pp. Illustrations, maps. Catalogue of an exhibition from September 28, 2018-March 17, 2019. Bill Traylor (ca. 1853-1949) is regarded today as one of the most important American artists of the twentieth century. A black man born into slavery in Alabama, he was an eyewitness to history-the Civil War, Emancipation, Reconstruction, Jim Crow segregation, the Great Migration, and the steady rise of African American urban culture in the South. Traylor would not live to see the civil rights movement, but he was among those who laid its foundation. Starting around 1939, Traylor-by then in his late eighties and living on the streets of Montgomery-took up pencil and paintbrush and attested to his existence and point of view. In keeping with this radical step, the paintings and drawings he made are visually striking and politically assertive; they include simple yet powerful distillations of tales and memories as well as spare, vibrantly colored abstractions. When Traylor died, he left behind more than one thousand works of art.
