Untitled (Angel), William Edmondson (c.1932–1941) | Mini Series

Untitled (Angel), William Edmondson (c.1932–1941)6x6 Mini Series William Edmondson’s Untitled (Angel) stands as a testament to the quiet power of self-taught artistry. Edmondson, the son of formerly enslaved parents, began carving stone in his 60s after a visionary calling. Working with salvaged limestone and humble hand tools in his Nashville yard, Edmondson created angels, animals, and biblical figures that radiate sincerity and spiritual presence. This angel, with its simplified form and gentle curves, embodies Edmondson’s unique blend of folk tradition and modernist sensibility. Both protective and peaceful, the figure invites contemplation of faith, endurance, and creative resilience—a glimpse into the soul of one of America’s most celebrated outsider artists. Cotton and polyester canvas on Radiata pine wood frame sourced from renewable forests. Includes back mounting.
