Mose Tolliver “Mose T” Original Folk Art Painting – Standing Figure with Cross – Alabama Outsider Artist

Original painting by celebrated Alabama outsider artist Mose Tolliver (Mose T.), executed on a found-wood panel in a cruciform arrangement. The central standing figure, rendered in flat planes of verdant green, raises both arms upward in a gesture associated with Mose’s iconic “vision” and “spirit” figures. Radiating lines from the head emphasize revelation or ecstatic presence — a recurring symbolic device in Tolliver’s work. Two lateral boards feature stylized birds: a green spirit bird and a dark crow-like form, echoing Tolliver’s frequent inclusion of animal companions or watchers. Signed “Mose T” along the lower vertical board. Strong, classic example with excellent character and color. 32"x17"
