Elijah Pierce\'s America
Elijah Pierce (1892-1984) was born the youngest son of a former slave on a Mississippi farm. Elijah Pierce's America seeks to revisit the artist's oeuvre and see it in its own right, rather than as "na ve," as it was known at the time.Through his carvings, Pierce tells his own life story, but he also chronicles the African American experience. He began carving at an early age when his father gave him his first pocketknife, and throughout his life he honed his craft and created artworks that would eventually, in the 1970s, bring him national and then international fame.
His subjects ranged from politics to religion, but he seldom distinguished the race of his figures--he thought of them as He made his living as a barber and was also a qualified preacher; just as his barbershop was a place for gossip and meeting, so his art reflects his own and his community's concerns.
