The Art of William Edmondson $35 This book showcasing works by the Tennessee artist called the greatest folk carver of the twentieth century accompanies a traveling exhibition of his art. William Edmondson, son of former slaves and a Nashville native, was the first black artist to have a solo show at the Museum of Modern Art (1937). Although he was touted as “naive,” this comprehensive study shows that Edmondson was not totally isolated from the trends of modernism, which surface in his astonishing limestone carvings of Biblical characters and religious figures. Venues and dates: Cheekwood Museum (Nashville), January-April 2000; Museum of American Folk Art (New York), May – August 2000; University of Rochester (New York), September 2000 – January 2001; High Museum (Atlanta), February – May 2001. |
