Incredible Antique African American Black Folk Art Slave Oil Painting WOW

Posted on May 18, 2022 by admin

This is an Incredible and museum worthy Antique African American Black Folk Art Oil Painting on wood board, depicting a sullen field slave sitting inside of a barn, with an overseer or well dressed house slave appearing to chastise him. The central figure has an anguished expression, and his back appears to be bloodied from the lashes of a whip. His white cotton shirt is hanging behind him and is also stained with blood. In the lower right corner of the scene, two nestled hens peek their heads out from a pile of straw. I have been collecting African American Folk Art for a very long time, and have Never In My Life came across an artwork with such raw historical value and subject matter. This belongs in a museum, and would be the paramount piece of any serious Black Folk Art collection. Signed and dated: H. Nickels’36 in the lower right corner. I could not find any information on this artist, but perhaps you know more about him or his work. The creation date of 1936 puts this piece firmly in the early Jim Crow era, and may have been painted by someone who witnessed this scene or was personally familiar with this sort of sad situation. The historical importance of this painting cannot be understated. Approximately 29 1/8 x 37 1/8 inches including frame. Actual artwork is approximately 24 x 32 inches. Good condition for age, with minor paint loss in some areas, and light scuffing and edge wear to the original period frame please see photos. This is for the serious collector of Black Folk Art – American Folk Art. This item is in the category “Art\Paintings”. The seller is “willsusa_utzeqm” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.

Genuine Mose Tolliver Very Unique Bus Painting Southern Folk Art Incredible Rare

Posted on September 29, 2020 by admin

Genuine Mose Tolliver Very Unique Bus Painting Southern Folk Art Incredible Rare. This painting is the perfect size; 26 x 9 1/2 x 1 1/2. Not too big, not too small. This painting is unique in several ways. Mose made several differing bus paintings but this is by far the most special. Not only is this one framed, but the frame is adorned with flattened bottle caps. The paint used in this work are bright and vibrant, which Mose fans understand was not always the case. The people riding the bus are all different colors, which in most other bus paintings they were all uniform in color. The frame surrounding the painting is attached very securely with both nails and some type of glue. The frame has flattened beer bottles caps nailed to it, all of which though fastened securely still freely spin and/or move. Though many of his paintings included a soda can tab to use to hang them, this painting has an actual picture hanger nailed to the back of it. I dont know for a fact that Mose installed this hanger, but I havent been told otherwise. Will be packaged securely with plenty of padding protection. This painting is genuine, and comes from a collection of other Mose Tolliver paintings and Joe Light paintings. See other listings or inquire if interested. This painting being as unique as it is is surely worth much more than my asking price. Any questions please ask.
