The book is an intimate portrait of unique African-American who saw fame in his own lifetime after a disaster caused him to pick up a paintbrush. The photographs, the artwork, and poignant quotes by Mose offer powerful images, touching the South's natural soul. Anton Haardt lets us see beyond the artist into the personality of a complex man who took defeat and turned it into victory. It is a great book for fans of Mose, aficionado's of folk art, curious readers everywhere and libraries daring to blend art school painters with untrained artistic genius.
BOOK REVIEW:
Whether you refer to him as a self-taught artist or a folk artist,Mose Tolliver is a legend and an inspiration. Disabled when a crate of marble fell on his feet and legs, Tolliver turned to art in order to keep his head together.… But not everyone who practices art therapeutically gains the recognition that Tolliver achieved.
So how did Mose T, as he was known, transform from a gardener/housepainter/shipping employee into an internationally known and respected folk artist? The answer to this question can be found in Anton Haardt's book Mose T from A to Z: The Folk Art of Mose Tolliver.
Haardt and Tolliver could not be more different. As the foreword notes, Haardt was an accomplished young woman from a socially prominent Alabama family… while Tolliver was a middle-aged, partially disabled African American painter.… But, they were both artists in Montgomery, Alabama. Haardt was drawn to Tolliver's pictures - with fantastical titles like Jimma Jamma Girl and X-Ray Dry Bones Charlie - which were often displayed in his front yard. Neighbors and artists would often pay him $1 or $2 per picture.
In this collection of anecdotes and quotes from Tolliver's life, alongside an abecedarian compendium of some of his art, Haardt has given the world an opportunity to know Tolliver the way she did. Haardt even includes a timeline of important dates and exhibitions throughout Tolliver's career. Mose Tolliver died October 31, 2006. He was in his 80s. Haardt's book is a must-read for art lovers, as well as for those who think art is only for the wealthy. Mose T showed us all there is art in doing what you love and loving what you do.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
I spent more than ten years working on this manuscript. The book is a first-hand view of Mose from the days when I chaperoned him and his wife to the Corcoran exhibit through his rise to national recognition in the folk art world. Folk art scholar Regenia Perry has contributed a preface on the significance and appeal of Tolliver's work. Lee Kogan, curator of the American Folk Art Museum in New York, has also written a wonderful introduction. I have included an essay along with stories and anecdotes from my close friendship with Mose. I've presented some of the finest vintage pieces in my collection in an A to Z format of one-of-a-kind Mose titles (J is for Jimma Jamma Girl - She does the wild dance). These high quality reproductions are complimented by multiple photographs of Mose at home with his family and working on his art. -- Anton Haardt

"In terms of the art history of our country, I would say in comparing Tolliver's work to Picasso - Mose's art is of equal value - you can hang beside a Picasso and you have the same kind of creativity and deep personal vision."
Robert Bishop, Director of the American Folk Art Museum

"I must thank Anton Haardt for sharing Mose's story with us. It¹s an excellent story and excellent journal of an amazing artist who will see fame in his own lifetime after a disaster that caused him to pick up a paintbrush and share his inner thoughts with us."
Tyrone V. Banks, Author of "Under the Melting Pot"

"Mose T, A to Z is the first book dedicated to Tolliver's work... Haardt's true heart comes through in this book... a worthy investment for fans of Mose, aficionado's of folk art and curious readers everywhere".
Clarence V. Reynolds, "Black Issues" January - February 2005
________________________________
"Haardt gives a brief, yet highly informative, definition on each of Tolliver's whimsical monikers for his paintings. This book should hold a special appeal for those who have come to know and love the old man on Sayre Street, and may capture interest of art enthusiasts worldwide."
Cane Bowden, "Kudzu Review," Montgomery, Alabama August 2004

Excellent Screen Protector – Easy to Install and Crystal Clear
Model: iPad A16 11th 2025 /10th 2022
am very pleased with this tempered glass screen protector for my iPad. Installation was quick and easy, with no bubbles, and the fit is perfect. The screen remains crystal clear, and the touch sensitivity is exactly the same as before. It provides great protection against scratches and everyday wear while maintaining the original display quality. I also appreciate that the package includes two protectors, which offers excellent value for the price. Highly recommended for anyone looking to keep their iPad screen safe and looking brand new!”
