MOSE TOLLIVER
In self-taught circles, Mose Tolliver is
one of it's kings. Any serious folkart collection contains at least
onepiece by Mose!
Mose began painting after an unfortunate
and life-changing accident while working at a
furniture company. A large crate of marble fell on his legs. He was left
unable to walk without the aid of a walker or crutches. Depressed
and feeling hopeless,he was encouraged to take up painting by his former
employer. The rest is folk-lore history!
His images are crude and flat, but,
manage to come together to form lovely and balanced compositions.
And most of his paintings have a beer tab attached to the back for
hanging purposes!
