    Saul Haymond, Sr. (American/Mississippi, b. 1947)

    Est: $400 - $600

    Saul Haymond, Sr. (American/Mississippi, b. 1947), "Fat Back and Dirt Floor", 1993, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, label with title on stretcher, 30 in. x 48 in., framed, overall 36 3/4 in. x 54 3/4 in. x 3 in. Condition: Overall good condition. Note: Saul Haymond, Sr. has been documenting life in the community of Pickens, Mississippi in Holmes County for over forty years. Born in 1947 on a plantation near Ebenezer, Haymond’s first exposure to painting and the art world came through a mail order book featuring the paintings of Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. He began copying the Old Masters, tracing them on the ground in the dirt and later progressing to watercolors and oils. Much of Haymond’s work depicts scenes from his own life and those of his neighbors and friends. Some of his favorite topics include former homes, local stores, workers picking cotton and landscapes of the places where he used to live and work. Using memories, photographs and stories of the past, he creates paintings that depict scenes in the history of the community or within local families. In the work offered here, Haymond presents an interior panorama of a farm cabin with hints of a sweeping landscape and rising sun in the distance through the doorway. On a skewed perspective and cropped as though through the lens of a camera, the composition draws the viewer into the room alongside the figures engaged in various labors. The details of the domestic scene are presented with care and show a pride of place even within the humble surroundings. Haymond began receiving greater recognition in the 1990s, including fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the Mississippi Arts Commission. His work has been exhibited outside of the state, including an exhibition at the Atelier A/E Gallery in New York, and he was featured in the Mississippi Museum of Art’s 1999 Mississippi Invitational.
