Bill Traylor was an eyewitness to history. Born into slavery in Alabama, he saw the Civil War, Emancipation, Reconstruction, Jim Crow segregation, the Great Migration, and the rise of African American urban culture in the South. Traylor would not live to see the civil rights movement, but he was among those who laid its foundation.
When he was in his late 80s, he took up pencil and paintbrush. Traylor put down a lifetime of memories, dreams, stories and scenes into paintings and drawings that are visually striking and politically assertive.
When Traylor died in 1949, he left behind more than 1,000 works of art.
Today he is regarded as one of the most important American artists of the 20th century.
This is "Untitled (Radio)," ca. 1940-1942, in our @americanart's collection and currently on view there in "Between Worlds: The Art of Bill Traylor." Traylor often painted on discarded cardboard window advertisements or box tops. This large display card once advertised the Philco Mystery Control, a wireless remote invented for radios in 1939. #atSAAM #BlackHistoryMonth
