- Artist
- Bill Traylor, born near Pleasant Hill, AL ca. 1853-died Montgomery, AL 1949
- Publication Label
- Folk and Self-Taught Art affirms the basic human impluse to create. The museum has long championed self-taught art as an embodiment of the democratic spirit. It is one of the only major American museums to advocate for a populist and uniquely American voice within the context of what is traditionally considered great art. These works by untrained artists are powerfully evocative of a personal vision.
