American artist Minnie Evans (1892–1987) created visionary drawings of intertwined human, botanical, and animal forms inspired by her spiritual visions of "the lost world"—ancient civilizations destroyed by the Great Flood. This comprehensive art book features over 100 of Evans' extraordinary artworks, showcasing her unique blend of abstract and representational styles developed while working as a domestic worker and later as an admissions collector at Airlie Gardens in Wilmington, North Carolina. Evans' intricate drawings, created during quiet moments and displayed on the Gardens' wrought-iron gate, gained recognition through visitor interest and culminated in a landmark 1966 New York exhibition. This publication honors that historic exhibition while exploring the spiritual visions, biblical influences, and historical context of her remarkable life in the Jim Crow South. Her beautiful, complex artwork serves as a window into her visionary "lost world," bridging the sacred and the personal. Perfect for art enthusiasts, collectors, and those interested in African American artists, outsider art, spiritual art practices, and twentieth-century American art history. A must-have for understanding one of America's most distinctive and influential contemporary artists.
