  • Black Joe Jackson Painting - "We Be Pickn Sum Flars"
    Mar. 20, 2025

    Black Joe Jackson Painting - "We Be Pickn Sum Flars"

    Est: $1,800 - $2,700

    Black Joe Jackson (American, 1922-1997). "We Be Pickn Sum Flars" house paint on plywood, n.d. Signed down left margin and titled down right margin. A large-scale painting by folk/outsider artist Black Joe Jackson. Jackson's theme derives from his childhood memories in the American South. Raised in a poor sharecropper family, this scene of a family of four picking flowers in the field while accompanied by their playful dog captures a joyous moment in their lives, a welcome break from working in the fields. While the figures are rendered with abstract forms, saturated colors, and bold patterns, the setting is rendered in a more fluid manner. Jackson delineated the twilight colored skies with loose, impressionistic brushwork and the vibrant field of wildflowers in a pointillist manner. A beautiful painting by Black Joe Jackson, impressive for its exceptional size, Jackson's strong composition, luminous color palette, and signature blend of naive folk and fine art influences. Size: 48" L x 62" W (121.9 cm x 157.5 cm) About the Artist: Black Joe Jackson was a self-taught African-American artist born to a sharecropper family near Atlanta, Georgia in 1920. Jackson created paintings on wooden boards and used easily available materials such as house paint an scrap wood. He was born with dyslexia, and the writings on his paintings demonstrate this. He is oftentimes described as a folk artist or an outsider artist due to his playful, naïve style. Jackson's themes reflect memories from his childhood in the South.
