Book Description:

Thornton Dial (b. 1928), one of the most important artists in the American South, came to prominence in the late 1980s and was celebrated internationally for his large construction pieces and mixed-media paintings. It was only later, in response to a reviewer's negative comment on his artistic ability, that he began to work on paper. This volume, edited by Bernard L. Herman, offers the first sustained critical attention to Dial's works on paper.
