THORNTON DIAL - Image of the Tiger

THORNTON DIAL - Image of the Tiger

THORNTON DIAL (1928-2016)
A former Alabama steel worker, Dial "made things" without acclaim for the first 60 years of his life. Since his "discovery," the self-taught African American artist has gained international attention. The tiger symbolizes both Dial and the African American male. It acts as protagonist in highly sculptural paintings constructed from found objects, scraps of carpeting, rope, and Bondo. Though the paintings are nearly abstract, close examination reveals a complex narration among the vivid colors, energetic lines, and bold design. McEvilley and Baraka do a good job of explaining the meaning of "outsider art" like Dial's, and through comparisons with figures in conventional art history they validate his work. Enhanced by the fiercely political prose of Baraka and direct quotes from the artist, this book can have an impact in all kinds of libraries. Recommended.
