Don't Hold Me Back: My Life and Art
(4)
4-6
Self-taught artist Rembert, raised by sharecroppers, was almost lynched and ultimately jailed for participating in a civil rights demonstration. While in prison, he learned leather work and is now a celebrated folk artist. Eleven of his leather paintings, documenting events from his life, are reproduced here and accompanied by Rembert's own insightful text. Though overdesigned, this book rewards close examination. Reading list.
