The paintings in this auction are Folk Art by Mose Tolliver, who got his start by hanging his artwork in a tree and selling for $1. Mr. Tolliver was a self-taught artist who was injured, partially disabled and found art to be a way of escaping and “keeping his head together.” His artwork has been purchased by the Director of the Museum of American Folk Art and many others. In the late 1960s, Mose Tolliver was forced to retire from his job in a Montgomery, Alabama, furniture factory after a thousand-pound crate of marble fell from a forklift and crushed his legs. His former employer encouraged him to start painting, and Tolliver began to create images with house paint on pieces of plywood, Masonite, or old furniture. Unable to stand without crutches, he used to sit on his bed to paint, balancing the board on his knees. Recognition came in the 1980s with a solo show at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, and a folk art exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery, in Washington, D.C. Tolliver is known for his vibrant images of women, fantasy animals, and religious subjects, and he could paint up to ten pictures in one day. Today, he has work hung in the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Nancy Reagan was a well known fan who purchased his work. All of this artwork is authentic and was purchased from the attic of Mr. Tolliver's home by the seller.
