Also known as Mose T, Mose Tolliver was an Alabama-born folk artist. He worked at a furniture factory until an accident in the 1960s left both his legs crushed. Tolliver painted on anything he could get his hands on, from tabletops to old metal trays. He sometimes created as many as ten pieces a day.
