The Crossroads of Memory: Carroll Cloar and the American South

5/5 ( ratings)

The paintings of Carroll Cloar rank among the most haunting and beautiful evocations ever made of the American South. Drawing on family stories, photographs of ancestors, rural scenery, small-town life, and memories of his childhood on an Arkansas farm, Cloar captured the quiet richness of a simpler world.

Cloar’s complex style not only pays homage to the great American Realist masters and the pointillism of the Post-Impressionists but also blends these elements smoothly with the subtly disturbing images and themes of the Surrealists. His paintings, with their saturated colors, repeating patterns, and shallow picture planes, offer a unique and timeless vision of the American South.
