The story of Bill Traylor's life and work is a remarkable one. It is a story that deserves attention both nationally and internationally. This publication, generously illustrated with full-page high-quality reproductions, will provide a close examination of Traylor's recurrent themes, composition schemes, favoured iconography, and contextual information related to the artist's biography, creative process and tools, visual environment, and artistic mindset. Each artwork is considered in a context beyond that of an isolated image and in response to one another, forming a series of intricate and consistent narratives, intriguingly cinematic in its development. The elements of Traylor's biography are the anchors of an individual mythology. Instead of merely being a basic depiction, the subject becomes a visual statement structuring Traylor's mind, bringing together hidden symbols from Kongo Vodou, Hoodoo, Southern Baptist, Freemasonry, and Blues sources, as well as layers of references: slavery, uncensored violence in the Jim Crow era, and turbulence within the black enclave known as 'Dark Town' in Montgomery, Alabama. 546 $a Text in French and English. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 188-189) and index. 505 00 $g Foreword. $t Acknowledgments. $r Debra Purden -- $t Introduction / $r ValeÌrie Rousseau -- $t Bill Traylor: movements of the intangible / $r ValeÌrie Rousseau -- $t Bill Traylor's gallery of characters: a tribute to his family / $r Debra Purden -- $t Bill Traylor, storyteller / $r Debra Purden -- $t Index of illustrations -- $t Selected solo exhibitions -- $t Bibliography -- $t Acknowledgments. 600 10 $a Traylor, Bill, $d 1854-1949 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Traylor, Bill, $d 1854-1949. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00238925 650 0 $a Outsider art $z United States. 650 0 $a African American artists. 650 0 $a Primitivism in art. 650 7 $a Primitivism in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01076463 650 7 $a African American artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799017 650 7 $a Outsider art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01049257 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Purden, Debra, $e author. 700 1 $a Rowell, Margit, $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020012006.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE49D708586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
