• WINFRED REMBERT(American/Georgia,
  WINFRED REMBERT(American/Georgia, 1945-2021) Cotton Pickers with Overseer, signed lower right "Winfred Rembert", dye on carved and tooled leather, 34-3/4 x 40-3/4 in.; white painted wood frame 43 x 48 in. Note: Born in rural Georgia, raised in a community tied to the cotton fields, Winfred Rembert survived a childhood of poverty in the segregated South of the 1940s. He would go on to be a nationally recognized artist, and his biography - Chasing Me to My Grave: An Artist's Memoir of the Jim Crow South - was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2022. It was not a well paved path. In 1966, after a demonstration in Americus, Georgia, Rembert was arrested and put in jail without being charged. A year later, he escaped but was caught and hung up by a group of deputy sheriffs. They stuck him with a knife but did not kill and burn him as he had anticipated. He spent the next seven years in a chain gang. Remarkably, he met his wife while building roads and bridges in rural Georgia as part of his prison sentence. While in prison, a man named TJ taught him how to carve wallets out of leather, a skill that he would use decades later in his embossed leather paintings. After his release, Rembert and Patsy married and they moved to New York, then Connecticut, where he worked a variety of jobs. Not until in his 50s after a second round in prison, did he begin to draw and paint the scenes of his youth, carving the stories into tactile leather canvases. In 2000, Rembert had a well publicized show at the Yale University Art Gallery. In 2002, he was introduced to Peter Tillou after speaking about his artwork at a school in Waterbury, Connecticut. A short time later they agreed to a working relationship that included numerous exhibitions and his 2010 coming out show at Adelson Galleries in New York. His work has entered major museum and private collections. [[southernart]] [the_american_south] Condition: color and surface are excellent; floating in frame

• William Aiken Walker
  William Aiken Walker (American/Charleston 1838-1921 active New Orleans 1876-1905) "Three Cotton Pickers" oil on academy board signed lower right pencil-inscribed "Field" en verso 6 1/8 in. x 12 1/8 in. in a giltwood frame. Provenance: Collection of Dr. and Mrs. R.L. Moore Philadelphia MS; acquired from Robert M. Hicklin Jr. Inc. Spartanburg SC 1987. Note: To be included in John Fowler's forthcoming catalogue raisonné on William Aiken Walker. Note: William Aiken Walker is well known for his depictions of cotton pickers in the fields. Though most often presented as a pair of paintings of single figures one male and one female occasionally Walker portrays a male and female figure together within the same composition. However a comprehensive survey of Walker's cotton scenes indicates that he rarely paints three figures within the same composition as depicted in the work offered here. The couple is shown side by side posed in characteristic Walker fashion. To their left a third figure is featured a woman who is actively picking cotton with her back turned to the viewer. This rare composition places this work amongst the most interesting of Walker's famed cotton scenes.
