John Bunion (J.B.) Murray (1908-1988) was a self-taught artist in Glascock County, Georgia. Murray was an illiterate sharecropper who, after a religious vision while working the fields at the age of 70, produced a remarkable body of abstract paintings in the last decade of his life. His work is now in many important collections, including that of the American Folk Art Museum〔http://www.folkartmuseum.org/?t=images&id=4381〕 and the Smithsonian American Art Museum,〔http://americanart.si.edu/collections/search/artwork/results/index.cfm?rows=10&q=&page=1&start=0&fq=name:%22Murray%2C%20J%2E%20B%2E%22〕 and has been featured in many museum exhibitions, including "Self-Taught Genius" at AFAM and "When the Stars Begin to Fall" at the Studio Museum.〔http://galleristny.com/2014/03/terms-of-art-looking-at-the-american-south-studio-museum-considers-the-insider-outsider-divide/〕 Murray's paintings are paradoxical in light of the limitations of his circumstances. Unable to read or write, in his pictures Murray invented a private language of notation, as if it were Adamic script from the late-20th century. While one might expect a septuagenarian sharecropper to create a style in a recognizable local vernacular, Murray's work, in its heightened color and abstract decorative quality, is comparable to modernist works with a mandarin appeal, by such artists as Paul Klee, Jean Dubuffet, and Howard Hodgkin, among others. Seeing an eagle descend from the sun, Murray believed that he had been granted a privileged religious insight, which was to be the inspiration for his work as an artist.〔Mary Pagdelek, ("JB Murray: This Well Grow Deep and Never Run Dry," ) in ''Raw Vision'', No. 58, p. 42.〕 Murray's revelation at the age of 70, which commenced his career as a painter, gave his work a prophetic intensity, as he believed himself a medium of God. Art historian Mary Padgelek, who wrote a book about Murray's life and works, has also written a musical about him: ''Visionary Man'', being presented at the Hudson Mainstage Theater. ==References==
