SUMMARY:Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:“Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts\,” is an illuminating documen
 tary\nthat explores the life of a unique American artist\, a man with a\nr
 emarkable and unlikely biography. Bill Traylor was born into slavery\nin 1
 853 on a cotton plantation in rural Alabama. After the Civil War\,\nTraylo
 r continued to farm the land as a sharecropper until the late\n1920s. Agin
 g and alone\, he moved to Montgomery and worked odd jobs in\nthe thriving 
 segregated black neighborhood. A decade later\, in his\nlate 80s\, Traylor
  became homeless and started to draw and paint\, both\nmemories from plant
 ation days and scenes of a radically changing urban\nculture. His colorful
 \, strikingly modernist work eventually led him to\nbe recognized as one o
 f America’s greatest self-taught artists and\nthe subject of a Smithsoni
 an retrospective. [2020\, US\, 75 min\, Rated:\nNR]. Jerry Saltz of “New
