Born into slavery, Bill Traylor has become almost a mythical figure in the history of American folk art. This book discusses Traylor's life and work and shows how his drawings pulse with the sensation... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is an all around good book about a very interesting artist and time period. Definitely recommend it.
Southern History Through Folk Art
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I asked for a book on Old South history or folk art for Christmas, and my mom picked up Deep Blues: Bill Traylor 1854-1949. What a book! I get lost in the work of Traylor -- the king of folk art (sorry Mose T). And the photographs of Montgomery in the early 1900s tell a great story. This book moved me in so many ways, I hope it does for you as well.
