Here is some information on artist Thornton Dial from Dennis Michael Jon:
here’s a link to an article that mentions that Dial was raised by a household of women. My comments on his reverence for woman and their roles in black families and the community were likely drawn from various sources.
Here’s a long quote from Dial that I found on the Souls Grown Deep Foundation’s website. He doesn’t mention being raised by women in this text, but does talk about his personal values and shares his thoughts on the importance of family.
Also, see text passages on the subject of the tiger and the woman in Dial’s art beginning on page 145 of “Thornton Dial: Thoughts on Paper.”
