HERBERT SINGLETON

Herbert Singleton (b. 1945) with one of his carved and painted wood panels in the courtyard of the Barrister Gallery in New Orleans, Louisiana. In an interview for the Archives of American Art Chuck Rosenak said, "We wanted to find out what American was like. That's why we set out on this voyage of discovery and Singleton was part of it. We never could exist in his community, nor could he exist in our community. When we collected his work, it was as an outsider looking in rather than the other way around."
