      France Marie Folse (American/Louisiana)

      Est: $500 - $700

      France Marie Folse (American/Louisiana, 1906-1985), "Country Road", oil on canvas board, signed lower right, inscribed en verso, 16 in. x 20 in., framed, overall 19 1/2 in. x 23 1/2 in. x 1 in. Note: Born in the Bayou Lafourche region of Louisiana in 1906, France Folse found artistic inspiration in the plantation life, burgeoning oil and gas industry and fishermen of her colorful and rapidly changing community. A debilitating illness as a child left her with limited mobility, however, she defied the odds to become the most successful folk artist of the region in the twentieth century. At the age of thirty-two, Folse enrolled in an educational correspondence program in art that included instruction in crayon, drawing and watercolor and began to pursue a career as an artist. She later taught herself how to paint in oils, and William E. Groves, an early and important collector of Louisiana art, recognized Folse's ability and encouraged her. According to William T. Peltier, Folse completed around 300 works during her career, primarily between 1942 to 1970. In the 1950s, Folse was hired by the Lafourche Parish School Board and given the title of art director of the recreations district. Teaching both children and adults, Folse brought art instruction to many people for the first time in the region. Ref.: Bacot, Parrott. “France Folse.” 64 Parishes. www.64parishes.org.
