Synopsis
Showcases the extraordinary life and work of an internationally significant Alabama folk artist
Charlie Lucas is a self-taught artist. Although he has made art since childhood, only since a debilitating accident in 1984 did Lucas turn to art seriously as a form of personal expression. He has since become recognized nationally and internationally as a great innovator in the field of American folk art. From his workshop in Pink Lily, Alabama--a rural wonderland of objects, sculptures, paintings, buildings, and installations--Charlie Lucas makes his art from materials that others have discarded (as he himself believes he was once discarded): old tin, bicycle wheels, shovels, car mufflers, tractor seats, metal banding, wire, and gears. His work is visionary, in every sense of the word, each creation the result of an intense communion with his heritage, ancestors, race, family, and his own choices in life. Every work is imbued with a story. With more than 200 vivid color photographs--of the artist at work, his studio environments, and his finished creations--Tin Man presents Lucas through his own words and stories--his troubled and impoverished childhood, his self-awakening to the depths of his own artistic vision, his perseverance through years of derision and misapprehension, and the salvation that has come through international acclaim and recognition, love of family, and his role as a teacher of children.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

First edition (not stated) SIGNED BY THE ARTIST. x, 100 pages plus 84 unnumbered pages. Hardcover: H 28.75cm x L 25.75cm. Dust jacket lightly rubbed; flap fold heads bumped; front flap is not price-clipped; dj presented in a mylar Brodart protector. Brownish-orange cloth with bright silver stamped lettering to spine and front board; boards' top fore-edge corners bumped with several initial leaves affected likewise. Multi-colored pictorial endpapers; artist Charlie Lucas' ink signature upon front free endpaper along with two figural face sketch drawings incorporated among the page's graphic design; several other illustrative ink marks by Lucas on front endpapers all of which can be easily overlooked due to the colorful "busy-ness" of the two pages. Other than the aforementioned initial leaf corner bumping interior pages are otherwise bright and clean. Binding retains some crispness. A very good+ copy in a very good+ dust jacket. Although without any identifying marks as such, the book was acquired directly from the estate of University of Alabama Professor Emeritus of Humanities and Religious Studies William G. Doty (1939-2017), a renowned scholar, lecturer, and editor best known for his monograph "Mythography: The Study of Myths and Rituals" (first published 1986 by University of Alabama Press with other printings/editions through 2014) and for his editorship of "Mythosphere: A Journal for Image, Myth, and Symbol." Doty was a prolific author writing some twenty books and over seventy essays not only regarding his primary fields of myth and mythology but delving into other disciplines including anthropology, art criticism, classics, and psychology. Page iv notes that the publication of TIN MAN was made possible by the generous support of five individuals including William G. Doty and [wife] Joan T. Mallonee. Please note that this large book has an approximate shipping weight of 4.25 pounds (1.92 kg) and may require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail. {Art_Shelf#2} ISBN 9780817316815.
