"The Crossroads of Memory: Carroll Cloar and the American South"
February 28 - June 1, 2014
The paintings of Carroll Cloar (1913-1993), rank among the most haunting and beautiful evocations ever made of the American South. Drawing upon family stories, photographs of ancestors, rural scenery, small town life, and memories of his childhood on an Arkansas farm, Cloar captured the quiet richness of a simpler world. At the same time, his images of abandoned buildings, wild panthers, or ghostly figures hint at the darker, more dangerous side of human existence. Many of Cloar’s works--such as Autumn Conversion or Where the Southern Cross the Yellow Dog--have an achingly familiar quality, suggesting our own family histories or childhood recollections.
