Jimmy Lee Sudduth (1910 - 2007)

One of the early masters of Southern art. His work, though idiosyncratic, is firmly grounded in the African American culture of the rural South.

This critically acclaimed self-taught Outsider Folk Artist and Blues musician was raised on a farm at Caines Ridge, near Fayette, Alabama. He began making art as a child, collecting pigments from earth (mud), plants and industrial products for his finger paintings. He used his fingers because "they never wore out." Sudduth was known for using syrup, sugar, and caulk as a binder for the pigments.  The substrates were plywood, doors, and found boards. Later in life, Jimmie Lee Sudduth used house paint, acrylic paint and a single shade of mud applied with a foam brush. He stopped painting in 2005 and passed away in 2007.

Sudduth's first public art exhibition was held in 1968 at Stillman College. In 1976, he was invited to play harmonica and exhibit his paintings at the Smithsonian Bicentennial Festival of American Folk Life. In 1980, he appeared on the Today Show and 60 Minutes. He's in many collections which include: Smithsonian American Art Museum, Corcoran Gallery, High Museum of Art, House of Blues, and many more.
