United States, Alabama, 32.75041, -86.75026Tolliver, Mose, 1920-20061997Painting by Mose Tolliver.Today, Mose Tolliver is considered one of America's most important folk artists. His artistic talents surfaced early in life as a teenager in Montgomery, Alabama, where he painted on a variety of odd objects, including tree stumps and the glass screens of discarded televisions. Art did not become his primary focus until the late 1960s, when an accident left him unable to walk without assistance. After observing the painting techniques of his former employer's brother, Tolliver decided that he could do the same and began creating his own work.Purchase of the Tubman African American Museum.image/jpeghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Folk art--United StatesAfrican American folk art--United StatesAfrican American painting--United StatesArtists--AlabamaFolk art--AlabamaAfrican American folk art--AlabamaAfrican American painting--AlabamaHuman figure in artTwins--AlabamaMoon manStillImage
