He crushed his foot while working in a warehouse, and began to paint for a living even before he was discovered by art critics and galleries. He usually painted in house paint on plywood or discarded boards, whimsical and sometimes erotic pictures of animals, humans, and flora, watermelons and birds. His work has been displayed at the White House, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and many other museums and galleries. Several Tolliver relatives have imitated his style and signed their work with his name. 22 inches long, 16 inches across at cross, plywood.
