All these paintings by Mose Tolliver, R.A. Miller, & Jimmy Suddith were collected by one gentleman, many of them directly by the artist. Tonight I will be listing three more paintings from this collection…. Measuring 18 1/8” by 24” this plywood painting signed “MoseT” depicts a fancifully snake with a turtle or frog in the corner. This painting has a couple of spots and rubs, but there is no damage or repairs and it still has the beer tab hanger at the top. The back of this authentic Mose T Painting is marked, “120 10/89.” … My reserve on this painting and the others I will be listing is far below what similar paintings have sold for in the past. …… You never know what you might find listed on our auctions and we list new auctions every day. Check us out every once in a while, you might find something interesting. … If you do not know who Mose Tolliver (1920-2006) was and his importance to the Outsider Art Movement. According to, “All Things Considered, November 5, 2006” Folk artist Mose Tolliver's subjects were nature, people and animals. His medium was house paint. His canvasses were cabinet doors and discarded table tops. His paintings began as a release from depression and drink, but put him at the forefront of the Outsider Art movement. Tolliver died this week. Born in 1920 to an Alabama sharecropper, he left school after the third grade. He spent much of his early life working to support a growing family that eventually included 11 children. Then an accident at a furniture factory left him unable to do manual labor. Starting in the 1960s, Tolliver began painting, hanging his work in his front yard, selling them for a few dollars each. He signed them "Mose T," with a distinctive backward "S." Today, many of those paintings are valued in the thousands of dollars. He was discovered by the world outside Alabama when his work was featured in a 1982 exhibition of Black American Folk Art at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C. His paintings hang today at the American Folk Art Museum in New York, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Smithsonian Institution and the New Orleans Museum of Art. …… Don’t hesitate to ask any questions you might have or if you need additional photos…I give a 100% Unconditional Guarantee on all my auctions.
