"Examining 122 works of art by seventy-three contemporary folk artists, Coming Home! Self-Taught Artists, the Bible and the American South accompanies a traveling exhibition organized by the Art Museum of the University of Memphis. The exhibition features painters and sculptors of wide acclaim, including Finster, Sister Morgan, William Edmondson, Clementine Hunter, Joe Minter, Elijah Pierce, Robert Roberg, William Thomas Thompson, and Myrtice West." "In the South, Evangelical Christianity is predominant. Essays in this catalog explore this particular religious influence on the work of southern self-taught artists. The artwork is considered within the context of contemporary American art and history, literature, and music. Also included are brief essays on seventeen of the artists along with biographical sketches of all seventy-three artists, identifying denominational ties and providing relevant religious information."--BOOK JACKET.
