"I, Too, Am Thornton Dial" at the LSU MOA

to

LSU Museum of Art 100 Lafayette Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802

A comprehensive overview of the seminal vernacular artist Thornton Dial's works, curated by Birmingham author and art collector Paul Barrett, is coming to the LSU Museum of Art. Dial, who was born to a sharecropping family in rural Alabama in 1928, lived through major events from the Great Depression through the Civil Rights Movement. These experiences and themes make appearances in his artwork, which he fully committed himself to in the early 1980s when the Pullman Standard Plant in Bessemer, Alabama that previously employed him closed. An opening reception with the curator will take place on March 30 at 6 pm. lsumoa.org.
