Between Worlds: The Art of Bill Traylor

(Friday) (Sunday)

Bill Traylor is one of the most celebrated American self-taught artists. His drawn and painted imagery embodies the crossroads of multiple worlds: black and white, rural and urban, old and new. His life—which spanned slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow and the Great Migration and foreshadowed the era of Civil Rights—offers a rare perspective to the larger story of America.Bill Traylor is one of the most celebrated American self-taught artists.
