His former employer encouraged him to start painting, and Tolliver began to create images with house paint on pieces of plywood, Masonite, or old furniture. Unable to stand without crutches, he used to sit on his bed to paint, balancing the board on his knees. Recognition came in the 1980s with a solo show at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, and a folk art exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery, in Washington, D.C. Tolliver is known for his vibrant images of women, fantasy animals, and religious subjects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr class=\"html-br\"\u003e\u003cbr class=\"html-br\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"HIs self Portraits are a significant part of his work often featuring lopsided features and eyes, which he described himself as laughing\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr class=\"html-br\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize is 14 inches x 18 inches \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lyman Liquidation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47654713327842,"sku":null,"price":1299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/9732\/7842\/files\/Untitleddesign_21_7c45d82d-8a16-41bf-af0e-0d5fa3f484a3.jpg?v=1775501382","url":"https:\/\/lymanliquidationonline.com\/products\/mose-t-self-portrait","provider":"Lyman Liquidation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
