- Description:
- Sculpture by George Andrews.
George Andrews spent most of his life working in the fields of Plainview, Georgia. A father of ten, Andrews always found time to pursue his love of drawing and reading. His sons Benny Andrews and Raymond Andrews both became nationally-known artists. After a split from his family, Andrews turned to art-making with renewed conviction. He became known as the "Dot Man" because of his signature use of brightly-colored dots of paint in decorating found objects. In the 1980s, Andrews began painting a series of works chronicling his family history using paints and canvases given to him by his son Benny.
