The murals of Hale Aspacio Woodruff, 2003
No full textThis study examines the life of Hale Woodruff as a muralist, chronicling his eight known murals and documenting his contributing to the current body of American Aesthetic scholarship. The study was based on two intervening factors that contribute to his development as an artist and muralist: racism in the South and segregation of artists works in galleries. A historical analysis approach was used to chronicle the murals of Woodruff. Oral interviews were conducted with his former students, associates, and colleagues. Using the data gathered, the researcher was able to chronicle Woodruffs eight known mural projects.
