Light House Art

This spectacular volume features photographs and biographies of twenty-one acclaimed self-taught artists from four states in the American South. From Georgia: Howard Finster, Dilmus Hall, Peter Loose, R. A. Miller, Harold Rittenberry, Jr., Rev. John D. Ruth, and Willie Tarver. From Alabama: Thornton Dial, Sr., Lonnie Holley, Ronald Lockett, W. C. Rice, Jimmy Lee Suddeth, and Mose Tolliver. From North Carolina: Benny Carter, James Harold Jennings, Clyde Jones, and Vollis Simpson. From Mississippi: Burgess Dulaney, A. J. Mohammed, Sulton Rogers, and Earl Simmons. Additional works by the artists are pictured individually. All these artists go with what comes natural. Each is shown here in a portrait with examples of his work. Most create and paint three-dimensional objects of wood, metal, found materials, clay, or cement-whirligigs, animals, religious subjects, portrait sculptures. Many, especially Finster, Ruth, Rice, Hall, and Simpson, also decorate their houses and yards with their art and create fantastical sculpture gardens. Dulaney makes clay animals inspired by the television show Wild Kingdom. Jennings has created a roadside environment of windmills, small houses, and signs filled with images of animals, humans, the sun, the moon, and stars. Jones shapes fanciful critters and human forms out of logs and tree stumps. Rittenberry's metal sculptures arise out of discarded vacuum cleaners, automobile parts, garden tools, and other found objects. Suddeth, one of the few included here who is solely a painter, works on plywood with a mixture of paint, mud, charcoal from the fireplace, and sugar, which he calls "sweetwater". Goekjian's extraordinarily vivid portraits of them in theirspecial environments are natural too, for he uses moonlight and artificial light. In a sense he paints with light. Each portrait, a work of art in itself, produces a surreal effect that parts the curtain on a special world and achieves a rare empathy with the subject matter.

"There are those who spend lifetimes in houses that have nothing to do with who they really are. They may be perfectly designed, yet if they fail to reflect the personalities of the people who live in them, the very essence of intimacy is missing and this absence is disturbingly visible." --From "a window inside" One of the most influential designers working in America today, Rose Tarlow knows that creating a truly beautiful room is as much an emotional matter as it is one of color, light, fabric, and furniture. In The Private House, she offers insights into the mind of a master designer--as well as a glimpse into some of the extraordinary homes she's decorated. Drawing upon her wealth of experience as an antiquaire and a designer, Ms. Tarlow discusses and illustrates simple principles of creative design that are appropriate to any home. Always arrange your comfortable, upholstered furniture first, she writes; pay special attention to how light affects your spaces; and use carpets as background only, never as the focus of a room. With chapters on lighting, fabrics, color, and intimate spaces, Ms. Tarlow encourages readers to plan and decorate each area of their house with elegance and personal style, covering all the essential elements of design--including the emotional ones. The result should be a house that welcomes family and friends, one that enhances our quality of life.
