        ARBON LANE PAINTING (1932 - 2005)

        Est: $2,000 - $4,000

        Metal table top. 40" x 25" a very insperational African American painter. One of Lane’s paintings depicts an incident on the artist’s journey as a young man from Atlantic City back to his home in North Carolina. Since he had no money or car, he decided to hitchhike. In Maryland, he was arrested and spent a week in jail. When released, he was told not to be caught on the streets again because it was illegal for Negroes to hitchhike in Maryland. After that, he traveled at night until he was finally given a ride back home. This experience was the inspiration for his painting and poem, “Prison.” The painting shows a black man behind bars who is shrugging, as if to say, “What can I do about it?” When he told this story to friends many years later, he merely said, “That’s the way it was.” (story written by Margerette Allen for the Folk Art Society of America)
