Bill Traylor was a chronicler of his time and place, whether he meant to be or not. Jeffrey Wolf believes that general categories rarely do justice to the intricacies and possible references made in his work.

This program is being presented in conjunction with the exhibition Bill Traylor: Drawings from the Colelctions of hte High Museum of Art and the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts.
