Abstract:

Parker discusses the life and artistic creations of Edgar Alexander McKillop. McKillop, an obscure mountain man with little formal education from the community of Balfour, is recognized as a great folk artist. His fame rests on thirty-three large walnut sculptures he created in the 1920s and 1930s.
