A self-taught memory painter, Velox Ward, Sr. began painting at age 59 at the request of his family. Like many other great Folk artists, Ward turned to his memories of growing up in rural East Texas during the early part of the twentieth century. By the 1970s, the North Texas arts community was beginning to recognize Ward's potential, including Donald and Margaret Vogel of Valley House Gallery, Dallas and the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art (now the Amon Carter Museum of American Art), Fort Worth. In 1972, they arranged for an exhibition of his work at the Amon Carter that then traveled to the Wichita Falls Museum, the Art Museum of South Texas, Corpus Christi, and the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts (now the Dallas Museum of Art). Currently, Velox Ward's work is found in the Amon Carter, Dallas Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art, and other public and private collections. HID01801242017

    Velox Benjamin Ward (American, 1901-1994) The Clown Oil on board 11-1/2 x 14-1/2 inches (29.2 x 36.8 cm) PROVENANCE: The artist; By descent to the present owner. EXHIBITED: Longview Museum and Arts Center, Longview, Texas, October 1980. During the 1930s and 1940s, American artists and critics sought "authenticity" in American art and some even began painting in a self-conscious and obvious naïve style. Self-taught painters such as Anna Mary "Grandma" Moses in New York, Clara McDonald "Aunt Clara" Williamson, H. O. "Cowboy" Kelly in Texas, and Augusta Isabel Corson Metcalfe Metcalfe in Oklahoma, caught the public's attention in the 1950s and 1960s, resulting in museum and gallery exhibitions of their work. Nearly all practiced some form of what came to be called "memory painting," some form of resurrected reminiscences of nostalgic, often rural and agricultural times. They also tended to start making art fairly late in their lives. Velox Ward, Sr. followed this same pattern in the 1960s. HID01801242017
