John Tweddle
After relocating to New York in 1969, John Tweddle, an outsider artist from Kentucky, began creating works that explored themes of class, art, and his identity as a Southerner, as well as the culture of his time.
His pieces frequently featured nude women, trucks, and peace symbols, and were characterized by bold colors and patterns, with recurring symbols like dollar signs and crosshatching. Tweddle's naive paintings and drawings with a folkloric quality were championed by Robert Scull, a prominent art advocate who had been one of the first to recognize the talents of artists like Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and James Rosenquist.
