  • illiam Edmondson The Hand And The SpiritAt Cheekwood Art Museum
    April 21, 2009

    William Edmondson (1874-1951), the illiterate son of freed slaves, was the first African American to become the subject of a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. That display, in 1937, brought to national attention the powerful, direct carving of this self-taught, visionary stonecutter and sculptor. Edmondson did not begin carving objects until he was well into his 50s. Working exclusively in limestone, his intuitive approach to sculpture produced minimalist, compact works that convey a sense of monumentality and express a high degree of design. Since he was born and died in the Nashville, Tenn., area, it is fitting that the Cheekwood Art Museum has the largest collection of his work, and has organized ⁗illiam Edmondson: The Hand and the Spirit,†on view through January 3. Drawn from the museum⁳ permanent collection, it comprises 11 representative works of the great self-taught sculptor.
