Barbara Archer Gallery presents ALL FOLK, an exhibition showcasing works by self-taught artists including Nellie Mae Rowe, Mose Tolliver, Leroy Almon, George Andrews, James Harold Jennings, Sarah Mary Taylor, Henry Speller, Eddy Mumma, J.B. Murry, Jimmy Sudduth, David Butler, Robert Lindsay Walker, Captain William Jordan and various anonymous artists.

Over twenty-five years have passed since the explosion of interest in contemporary folk art, leaving us now with a plethora of faux folk art, and a shortage of significant work by the early, authentic creators in this field of art.

The work of the highly recognized and widely exhibited artists featured in ALL FOLK represents creative expression in its most direct and uninhibited form. Not only are the works unique and original but the ingenuity, wit and reverence of their creators has developed in small communities across the American South, often outside the influence of art movements or academic circles. Barbara Archer Gallery is pleased to present works by master self-taught artists in ALL FOLK.
