"Carvings by Fred Webster"
2000-11-11 until 2001-01-21
Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts
Montgomery, AL, USA

Fred Webster is a native Alabamian who took up wood carving as a hobby when he retired from his position as a high school principal. The hobby soon became a passion, and Webster is now recognized as one of the State's most accomplished folk carvers.

His primary subject matter is biblical—illustrating stories such as the Temptation of Adam or Jonah and the Whale—as well as groups of biblical figures like angels in concert. There is a striking sense of whimsy to his small figural groupings, particularly the devils engaged in playful scenes of temptation. This exhibition will include approximately 20 narrative groupings from private collections and an illustrated brochure.
