The Alice Moseley Folk Art Museum in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi

Eric & I take the elevator
to The Alice Moseley
Museum.

Donna recounts Alice Moseley art career.  She took up painting in her 60s.  Alice was self taught and began each painting with its title.  Each piece of art tells a specific story.

The top painting tells the story of

Alice's life during the Depression.

Her husband lost his job.

  They lost their home & moved

into a Sharecropper's Cabin.

The Moseley's & their neighbors

were tenant farmers.

Folk Art is not for
everyone.

Some consider the painting

style & the subjects portrayed

to be low class, crude.

Folk Art represents "a slice of life" for many Americans.  This style adds to the rich complexity of American Art.

The Moseley Museum has
a lovely collection of
Depression Era Glassware.

This Cambridge Dining

Centerpiece graced a

formal dining table in

the early 20th century.

The Moseleys moved to
Tupelo & were friends
with the Presley Family.

I appreciate the antiques

that are displayed with

Alice's works.

Take a print of your

favorite Alice Mosely

painting home to

remind you of the 

lady & her art.

I'm going to look for Alice's art the next time Eric and I visit Washington D.C.'s National Gallery of Art Museums.
