Thornton Dial (1928-2016) was a pioneering African-American artist from Alabama who came to prominence in the late 1980s. Dial's body of work exhibits formal variety through expressive, densely-composed assemblages of found materials, often executed on a monumental scale. His range of subjects embraces a broad sweep of history, from human rights to natural disasters and current events. He is also the founder and Chairman Emeritus of the Souls Grown Deep Foundation, an organization dedicated to the preservation and documentation of African American art.
