First Lady Nancy Reagan visits the groundbreaking 1982 exhibition, “Black Folk Art in America 1930-1980”, at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Photographed with participating artist Mose Tolliver. More on the Corcoran Exhibit is in the book, Mose T A to Z: The Folk Art of Mose Tolliver, by Anton Haardt.

I first encountered Mose in the summer of 1970, about a year after he began painting. His wife, Willie Mae, had collard greens simmering on the stove, emitting a pungent smell only a Southerner could identify. I gingerly knocked on the screen door, and a thickly accented voice hollered, "Come on in!" So I did. And there in the middle room, was Mose, sitting on the edge of his bed painting on a board that he held in his lap. He wiped his brushes on the bedspread, and his shoes and pants were covered with splatters of paint. Cans of cast off house paint in random colors were stacked all around his bed, ready for the next picture.

Mose Tolliver's paintings of people, animals and flowers are unique in their style. He especially loved to paint fish. The Alabama River is not many blocks from Mose's home and in the earlier years he sometimes went fishing there. There are huge catfish in the river and also prehistoric monster-like fish called Gar. One day Mose explained his Mud Fish: "A mud fish is a big fish. In 1970, I was up on the Back Water and I seen one long as that gate over there that would pull you, or anybody out of the boat."

Mose said, "I just want to paint my pictures."

Here is a photo of Mose taken in Anton Haardt's Gallery circa 1992. The photograph is reproduced in the book, Mose T. From A to Z: The Folk Art of Mose Tolliver by Anton Haardt. Robert Bishop, then director of the Museum of American Folk Art, went so far as to declare that Mose's art was of "equal value" to Picasso's, commenting that "you can hang him beside a Picasso and you have the same creativity and deep personal vision.”

Mose Tolliver's Tico Bird
~
In Anton’s book, Mose T: from A to Z: The Folk Art of Mose Tolliver, she explains that the Tico Bird is the nickname for the complex and beautiful sounds of the Mockingbird, who sings in the wee hours of the morning. From the days when Mose T hung his paintings in a tree in his front yard in Montgomery, Alabama, selling them for a dollar each, to his rise in the folk art world, the Tico Bird has remained one of his popular images.

Here is a page from my book, "Mose T: A to Z: The Folk Art of Mose Tolliver", with a photo that I took of Mose sitting on the side of his bed. In the background a Dianna Lady and self-portrait hang on his walls. After he stopped hanging his paintings in trees, Mose’s bedroom became his gallery.

Our Story

We are an independent press company specializing in eclectic creations from the deep south. Our press focuses on Folk Artists -- Outsider Artists who create because the spirit moves them. Their self-taught craft is raw. Their pure impulse to create is powerful and original.

In 2005, I started my own small publishing house, Saturno Press, to get my first book out to the marketplace. I wanted better control over the design, price and placement of my book, and felt that the traditional publishing world as it stands was not right for me. I knew that by forming my own publishing company I would in control and I could decide on everything from the cover to the price, marketing, book award submissions and more.

Publishing under my own company fulfilled the vision I had for my first book. By doing this, I was hands on in editing, formatting, packaging and marketing the books, much like a traditional publisher. By forming Saturno Press there was a hope to anoint my career as a fledgling author with legitimacy and give me an edge in a flooded and cutthroat marketplace.

How our publishing company get the name Saturno?
