Give people flowers while they're still here to see them!!! I can't stand the fact that some people often get recognized after their transition no that's a narrative that we all have to change give them their recognition give them their praise give them their flowers give them their prizes when they're able to see them with their physical eyes I'm sure his spiritual eyes can see that his arts and talents were recognized but it would have been way better if he was able to appreciate this in the human form damn I'm happy but I'm sad too

Wonderful segment on a truly great American artist. Thank you for sharing!

[@ingridllinas5612]

A way of expression. It is never too late to recognize the artist there was in him. Somehow, without words he could express his journey. It is not childish at all. It’s folk. Some paintings express anger but most denote movement, dance. That real. Great curator’s talk.

[@kittahlove4548]

I'm inspired by his art and his story. Thank you Mr Traylor and everyone for sharing this

[@Janice-sb7qw]

His beautiful art would be pretty on fabric. I hope he knew his art was admired.

Amazing story true outsider artist along with Henry Darger and Martin Ramirez.

[@catman256able]

Thank you for the work you do. 👍🎥🎦

[@veronicamoton9833]

Beautiful works! Simplistic in only a way that he could have expressed. Art does not have to be elaborate in that it fills every space on the paper. Art speaks to those who connect to it whether it’s a flat line or a broad stroke. It is there to serve the persons who enjoy viewing it. Does he have any descendants?

[@shakeemwinn3647]

Very moving.

One of why top 5 artists...

[@michaelfinley4440]

I LOVE his work..

[@jakewillbourne]

Though I find these types of American news programmes so kitsch they are right in saying that Bill Traylor's work does have a beautiful and powerful story that needs to be shared. His paintings speaks so much more than just about race, poverty and hardship and that's why they connect so much with people are rightfully gaining recognition.

[@debbiecooper1677]

wonderful story.

[@tytraylor2653]

Wonderful pieces of work. I didn’t know him, but have been told his story by others. Not sure if we are related, but with a last name like ours, most likely we are!😆

I LOVE THE WORK OF BILL TRAYLOR

[@toriamartan3295]

Artist Bill Traylor art works are extremely powerfully meaningful and fit right in there with all those other artists whom works of art are usually spoken of as being important or very important works of art. Technically there's nothing simple about any of Bill Traylor's art works his work has a natural flow in it's quality. Also the explanation of how dogs are a reoccurring theme in his work actually require a study of all the different sorted horrors of the enslaved people of the time, so on the part of any curator trying to tell a fairly accurate account might wish to doing the reading and talking that is necessary to take on a subject as important as information is in the history.of art. And as for the commentator he might wish to rethink his statement in regards to Bill Traylor the artist only knowing how to sign his name.I think you'll find Bill Traylor an artist was rather brilliant. Surely it's time for all those misinformed or pushing their own agenda to better inform themselves. Remember whenever you know better perhaps you'll actually do better.

[@Kontorgh_art]

Amazing body of work.

[@christianegonbarnthaler1426]

super art

[@sclogse1]

Makes me think of Jonathan Winters work, if you know that he painted.

[@raktimparashar]

These art galleries would never recognize an artist works but after he or she is gone they will all come up with these lactures like his work is this and that. The truth is they no nothing except how to exploit artists and earn a lot of money.

Pain full story of Blackman

[@noserly]

Lol, this is horrible. Imagine feeling compelled to pretend this is good to gain social credit.

[@michaelcox545]

I’d genuinely draw those things better with my feet from memory.
