拍品专文

Thornton Dial takes inspiration from Gee's Bend Quiltmakers, a small black community from Alabama who have created hundreds of quilt masterpieces, dating back to the 1920s. Both Dial and the women of Gee's Bend harness the tactile and symbolic associations of found and repurposed materials to create works filled with personal history and beauty. Dial has stated of his work: "I believe I have proved that my art is about ideas, and about life, and the experience of the world."
