Object Label:
Show Object Label(s)Carroll Cloar (1913–1993, American)
was a nationally recognized painter
and printmaker who captured life in the
American South. The artist developed
a distinctive artistic style that combined
realist and surreal scenes of people and
places culled from his own childhood
memories. Cloar portrayed nostalgic
rural scenes, children, and domesticity,
often working from old photographs
found in his family albums. In the work
The Rose Eater (1967), he retains a
formal rigor alongside a playfulness and
a unique ability to see the world from a
child’s point of view.
