소작농으로 평생을 보내고 여든 다섯 살에 그림을 그리기 시작했습니다.

마분지, 합판, 셔츠 포장지, 광고판 뒤 등 평범한 재료를 사용하여 동물과 인물을 위트있게 표현합니다.

Bill Traylor was born a slave in 1854. He lived on George Hartwell Traylor's plantation in Benton, Alabama long after he was freed, eventually migrating to Montgomery in the mid-1930s. It was there that Traylor began to draw, always from memory — the animals, people and events he recalled in his life. With a sure hand and a minimalistic style, Traylor developed a self-taught visual vocabulary that has been applauded, written about and collected by major museums. Though his work was shown a few times in the 1940s, it was largely forgotten about and unknown until the early 1980s. Since then, his work has skyrocketed in appreciation and value, with even small works on cardboard selling for over $100,000. Traylor died in 1949.
