Thomson Georgia African American Oustider Artist Jake JT McCord Figural Painting
A native of Thomson Georgia, McCord took up painting on a whim and later on became known as one of Georges most beloved outsider artists. This painting features a woman with big blonde hair causally relaxing in a rocking chair. Quite the southern leisurely past time. She has big round eyes which gaze directly at the viewer. Just a charming lovely painting by this exceptional outsider artist. Painted on a large ply panel board and signed by the artist and dated 2003. Some wood splintering on bottom panel which could be the way it was originally painted on. Measurements: 48 x 32. McCord was born December 28, 1945. From the 1970s on, he lived in Thomson, Georgia, cutting grass for the city in the summer & driving a truck in the winter. McCord had been born at the family farm in Lincoln County, where his whole family, including Jake & his 11 brothers worked planting & picking crops. Reportedly he started painting in 1984, after he saw “some white ladies taking painting lessons at the Hawes Paint Store” in Thomson. He didn’t get a key to the trunk with the car, and it took him weeks of working at the lock with a screwdriver to get it open. In the trunk, he found a board on which someone had attempted a painting like the ladies in the paint store. Jake decided he could do better, so he took the board out and painted his own picture over it. His first subject was an alligator he saw on television, a source from which he derived most of his inspiration. As a rule, he painted on plywood nailing his finished paintings to the wall, under his covered porch. His bright, bold, humorous paintings were usually painted on boards, & his favorite subjects were farm animals, cats, dogs, houses, & women with big hairdos. He claimed his art was just for fun.
