Bill Traylor “Drawings from the Collections of the High Museum of Art and the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts”

American Folk Art Museum

This event has ended.

This exhibition will include approximately 63 drawings and paintings by self-taught Alabama artist Bill Traylor. Traylor began making art near the end of his life, and his works are notable for their flat, simply defined shapes and vibrant compositions in which memories and observations relating to African American life are merged. Traylor is recognized as one of the finest American artists of the 20th century.
