William Traylor (April 1, c. 1853 – October 23, 1949) was an African-American self-taught artist from Lowndes County, Alabama. Born into slavery, Traylor spent the majority of his life after emancipation as a sharecropper. It was only after 1939, following his move to Montgomery, Alabama, that Traylor began to draw. At the age of 85, he took up a pencil and a scrap of cardboard to document his recollections and observations. From 1939 to 1942, while working on the sidewalks of Montgomery, he produced nearly 1,500 pieces of art.

  • William « Bill » Traylor (1er avril 1854 - 23 octobre 1949) était un artiste autodidacte afro-américain du comté de Lowndes en Alabama. Né esclave, Traylor fut métayer pendant la plus grande partie de sa vie après la proclamation d'émancipation. Ce n'est qu'après 1939, après son déménagement à Montgomery, en Alabama, que Traylor a commencé à dessiner. À 85 ans, il utilisa un crayon et un morceau de carton pour documenter ses souvenirs et ses observations. De 1939 à 1942, alors qu'il travaillait sur les trottoirs de Montgomery, Traylor a produit près de 1.500 œuvres d'art. (fr)
