Item Details
Description
Charlie Kinney, (1906-1991)Β  outsiderΒ artist , ESKIMO LAND. Paint and graphite on paper. 21-7/8" x 28-1/8".
Charles Kinney, nicknamed Charley, was a member of one of Kentucky‰ÛΒͺs most famous folk-artist families. Charley and his brother Noah, also an artist, lived their entire lives together on the family‰ÛΒͺs tobacco farm in Toller Hollow, Kentucky. He seldom attended school and when he did, preferred drawing to studying. A birth defect affected Charley‰ÛΒͺs respiratory system and limited his ability to work at hard labor. He executed several hundred watercolors on paper and cardboard. His paintings reflect his strong connection to nature as well as the legends and superstitions he had learned as a child. Animals, religious stories, spirits, and ‰Û÷haints‰ÛΒͺ (haunts) occupy the world of his art. He often added words written in phonetic script.Β 
Unframed.
