Traylor, Bill

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Traylor, Bill (1854–1947)

US folk artist and plantation worker. In the last two decades of his life he produced over 1,000 works, drawing the world around him in a bold, primitive, but often strikingly original way. However, it was not until the 1980s that he was discovered; his work has been exhibited around the world and he is the subject of a biography (1992). Traylor was born in Alabama. Born a slave, he worked on a plantation near Selma, Alabama, until his early eighties; he then moved to Montgomery, Alabama.
