Andrews, project director. &#8220;Much of the time, art history paints these individuals in a vernacular or naive light. The truth is, they were very avant-garde and exceptionally devoted to their unique vision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To highlight the artists and the exhibit, MAC, the Starkville Area Arts Council and the Mississippi State University art department have published a 104-page, full-color, hardback catalog on the lives of the artists and artworks of the exhibition. The catalog is being circulated by University Press of Mississippi. Mississippi writer Patti Carr Black is providing her expertise to the project by serving as curator and editor of the catalog, which is available at Off Square Books in Oxford among other venues.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Through this exhibition and publication, we hope to offer a thoughtful and respective view of these legendary visual artists who drew life and inspiration from our beloved Mississippi Gulf Coast,&#8221; said Malcolm White, MAC executive director.<\/p>\n<p>University Museum, Fifth Street and University Avenue, is open to the public 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1-4:30 p.m. Sunday.
