“Between Worlds: The Art of Bill Traylor,” Bill Traylor sits before a display of his artwork. Photograph by Horace Perry. Courtesy Alabama State
the current exhibition at the Smithsonian Council on the Arts.
American Art Museum through March 17
explores the work of self-taught artist Bill
Traylor (circa 1853–1949) in the context of
Twentieth Century social and aesthetic his-
tory. The project brings together 155 draw-
ings and paintings from the artist’s prolific
output, featuring examples drawn from the
museum’s own collections and a substantial
list of public and private lenders. Lively imag-
es of people and animals in motion spring out
from the sheets of paperboard decorated with
crayon, pencil and opaque watercolor.
The major undertaking was organized by
Leslie Umberger, curator of folk and self-
taught art at the museum, and is accompa-
nied by her new volume on Traylor’s long life
and brief career as an artist. The monograph
includes chapters on the world in which he
lived, carefully documented by biographical
details from surviving records, and discusses
the emergence of his talent during an active
period in late life while recounting how his
preserved work captured the attention of the
art world decades after his death.
In the book’s preface, the curator outlined
her goals: “From the outset of this research
project — which took roughly seven years
from inception to execution, to manifest in
an exhibition and publication — the inten-
tion was to bring together long-separated
artworks that are related in content; give in-
depth attention to Traylor’s imagery, narra-
tives and symbolism; and carefully revisit
the artist’s biographical details to establish

many facts of his life will never be estab-
lished and the artist’s personal agenda will
ultimately remain hidden and enigmatic.”

Artists work with images gathered from
their environment, as interpreted by per-
sonal thoughts, circumstances and talent.
The question arises: how to label Bill Tray-
lor? He was black, a self-taught artist,
worked in a “folk” rather than academic tra-
dition and existed as an outsider in rela-
tionship to the mainstream art world. Crit-
ics and academics continue to wrestle with
definitions for these designations. Umberg-
er has a valuable discussion of terms in
“Notes to the Reader.”

When his unique style was “discovered” in
the second half of the Twentieth Century,
Traylor’s life story chained his output with-
in the categories of black folk art or outsider
art. Perhaps, had he been born in different
circumstances, his art might have been eval-
uated and labeled in different terms. Just as
Jean Michel Basquiat is often defined by his
graffiti origins and the volatile New York art
world of the early 1980s, Traylor is never
discussed without mentioning influences
from the segregated Southern world in
which he lived. Yet, both have emerged from
the “black artist” box to become members in
the broader category of important Twenti-
eth Century American artists.

Peter Eaton &
Joan Brownstein

The two dealers have been friends since 1980 and
have been married for 15 years. They recently relo-
cated from Newbury, Mass., to Wiscasset, Maine,
and have an open shop in an Eighteenth Century
home and gallery just off Main Street. They met
when each was exhibiting at several antiques shows
a year; he was primarily dealing with furniture and
accessories from the Pilgrim century through 1820,
and she was dealing in folk art and schoolgirl art.
In the past, their show schedule included the pre-
mier events in the world of American antiques, in-
cluding the Winter Antiques Show and Winterthur
Museum’s Delaware Antiques Show. Brownstein is now being treated for Parkinson’s disease and has had three
major back surgeries, curtailing their show schedule. Eaton, always with an interest in American history and a
fascination for the objects that made history come alive, was teaching school when a girlfriend’s father gave him
his first antique — a slat back chair. His first purchased antique, a #7 Shaker armchair missing an arm, cost
$5 at a Goodwill store. He started buying for resale in 1970, learning the differences between good, better and
best. Brownstein knew from childhood that she would be an artist, and while working and living in New York’s
Finger Lakes region, discovered the rich heritage of folk paintings from that area, including works by Henry
Walton, Noah North, M.W. Hopkins and others. She began buying for resale about 1980.

PE: Yes. Take for example, Labor Day weekend. We

we would have had all summer in Newbury. Ninety
percent of the people we’re seeing now never heard
of either one of us. We have the time to talk to
these people and discuss things they may never
have been exposed to. We wanted to display our
objects in such a way as to emphasize their aesthetic
qualities, not simply that they might have been
made in the Seventeenth or Eighteenth Century.
We’ve learned that antiques and folk art don’t need
to be “part” of anything. They can stand alone,
based on those aesthetic qualities and condition. It
seems to be working; we’re selling to new custom-
ers. We have a broad selection of items, not just
those that we’re well known for.

How are you using the word broad?

PE: In some ways, Joan and I really are two dif-
ferent businesses. I still buy and sell the furniture

October 10, 7 to 10 pm.

This year’s show theme is The
Sun, The Moon & The Stars:
Celestial Imagery in Art,
Antiques & Design.

Depicted by nearly every cul-
ture throughout time, celestial
bodies hold mystery, splendor
and symbolism. Glittering,
glowing and geometrically pow-
erful, celestial objects have
been popular motifs in art,
antiques, design and literature
for centuries. Stars and constel-
lations were named in ancient
times for gods and animals they
resembled. The sun is regarded
as a symbol of life, power and
rebirth; the phases of the moon
symbolize immortality, eternity
and purity; stars may represent
the knowledge of good and
truth, inspiration, imagination,
dreams and divine guidance.
The sky humbles us and the
celestial elements we see from
earth have long been inspira-
tion to artists and artisans.

The 37th edition of the show
will feature 50 dealers from
around the world, offering for
sale a wide range of fine and dec-
orative arts representing all
styles and periods including
American, English, Continental
and Asian furniture and decora-
tive objects, paintings, prints,
photographs, books, gold, silver
and precious metals, jewelry,
rugs, textiles and ceramics. Deal-
ers are invited to bring pieces
from antiquity to present day.
The show also features a popular
lecture series, cocktail hour talks
and other programming.
