Royal Robertson Outsider Folk Art drawing signed "Back Biters"

Description: "Back Biters " BY FOLK ARTIST ROYAL ROBERTSON9 x 12 Marker on paper Two sidedItem Catalogue More information about the Artist: Royal Robertson was born in St Mary’s Parish, Louisiana in 1930. He left his native state in his early twenties, finally returning to Louisiana some three years later to care for his ailing mother. He then married his wife Adell. He was a sign painter by trade. His marriage ended 19 years later and Robertson has been alone and troubled ever since. He was scorned by his neighbors and turned to obsessive records of his visions in imagery and writings. His influences are two-fold; either the futuristic images of aliens, anticipated modes of travel, architectural dream houses or temples, and his tormented memories of his unfaithful wife, Adell, and their spoiled marriage. His home and yard were virtually filled with his rotating signs professing ravings of his unfaithful spouse, cursing Adell on the outside and ubiquitous drawings and shrines to her on the inside. His drawings show his accomplished trade of sign painter in their proportional architectural accuracy. Usually painted on poster paper with magic markers and tempera paint, his paintings usually allude to precise moments in time like when Adell was unfaithful to him.
