Carolina Stories: Uncommon Folk spotlights six self-taught South Carolina folk artists and their unique, sometimes quirky, creations. Artisans featured are L.C. Carson, Johnnie Simmons, Ernest Lee, Maxie McConnell Eades, Margaret Robbins, and Sam Doyle, the St. Helena folk artist whose "Stepping Out" painting is to the left.
We have materials about Sam Doyle, of course - but none of his artworks - though we have books with some of his artwork included for you to see in our Research Room. (His work commands very high prices in the art markets). The list of links and materials about Sam Doyle includes over 25 links to internet sites with additional information about his life and work. You can also drop by the BDC Research Room to read the vertical file we have about his work and life or to see an art exhibit catalog of his New York show in 1989. For the more visually inclined, check out the video Palmetto Places: St. Helena Island from any of our local history sections. (The video also features works by Jonathan Green in the Red Piano II Gallery, by the way).
“Sam Doyle“, Uncommon Folk series, for SC Educational Television Carolina Stories [Video], [?2011] (7 minutes) includes filmed segments of Doyle and comments about Doyle’s work by Paul Matheny (SC State Museum), Emory Campbell and Victoria Smalls (Penn Center) and art gallery owner Mary Mack.
