Elijah Pierce at Canton Museum of Art, OH
until March 4, 2018
"An American Journey" explores the work of self-taught American folk artist Elijah Pierce (1892 – 1984). Pierce was a prolific African American wood carver known for his brightly painted sculptural panels illustrating biblical stories, moral lessons, historical events, and images from popular culture. This exhibit focuses on 40 major works, including Pierce’s most ambitious carving, “Book of Wood” (1932), consisting of seven panels with 33 scenes illustrating the years Christ lived on the earth, as well as works depicting segregation, the Vietnam War, Watergate, and Civil Rights, among others.

Paul Amar RIP (1919–2017)
Philippe Lespinasse
Paris-based Algerian self-taught artist Paul Amar has passed away at the age of 98. Amar began creating art in his late fifties, using shells as his main material, producing more than 200 exuberant pieces. Picked up on beaches or bought in from fishmongers' or other specialist shops, the shells were ground smooth, cut to shape, assembled and then varnished and heavily painted in a colourful, frenzied fusion to create cleverly orchestrated tableaux.
