Detail Photos of an African-American Concrete Sculpure of a Man and Woman

Detail photographs of a man and woman African-American made Folk Art Sculptures of Concrete. Early 20th c. if not earlier showing traces of original paint and considerable wear. I believe I first saw these sculptures, among others MANY years ago, and when i managed to return they apparently had been removed and purchased. Fortunately, this couple made their way to me. They are seated figures fishing (!) and quite large. Collection Jim Linderman / Dull Tool Dim Bulb

Folk Artist Willie Massey of Kentucky Master of African-American Iconography

I’ll call Kentucky artist Willie Massey (1906 - 1990)an under-appreciated and under-recognized folk artist. A textbook example of African-American iconography in every work. This miniature chest is an early piece. Later works were more primitive but just as beautiful and came with slapdash gorgeous color, often including tinfoil animals and adornment. Musician, songwriter and collector Kevin Gordon has several additional examples of Mr. Massey’s wonderful work,both early examples and later.
