One of the most important contemporary artists of the 20th century, Bill Traylor (1853 – 1949) illustrates the experience of African American life as an artist born into slavery. His experiences span tumultuous eras of history—–the Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the Great Migration——that are reflected through an expansive visual record of his life. Leaving behind over 1,000 pieces of art, Between Worlds: The Art of Bill Traylor brings together more than 200 of them.
