Inspired by Self-taught artists: Bill Traylor
Another inspired swap. This time it is the Self-taught artist: Bill Traylor. Traylor will inspire you with his life story that translates into his use of color, images and content. This African-American artist born into slavery in the mid-1800’s, incredibly beginning his career as a self-taught artist at the age of 85. Some of his most notable works of art were those that depicted his memories of plantation life in Montgomery, Alabama.
Here are some of his works:
