He was born in 1920 to a sharecropper in Alabama. He left school in third grade. A work accident left him unable to work, and he began painting in the 1960s. He was self-taught and lived all his life in Alabama. He used house paint as his medium and painted on just about anything &#8212; old scrap wood, bark. He was discovered when his work was featured in a 1982 exhibition of Black American Folk Art at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C.; now his paintings sell for many thousands of dollars. He died last Monday.
