About the Print

n

John T. Scott’s works display themes of African American life, Afro-Caribbean culture, and the music culture of his hometown—New Orleans. His work is best known for its unconventional and experimental use of materials. Scott used tools such as chain saws, spoons, traditional wood carving tools, kitchen knives, and various other accessible tools to create his prints.

“In the African American community, he was the first to be embraced by the white world. He was an artist of prominence that could rival anyone in the city. He became the role model, the pinnacle that all of us strove to be like.” —artist Willie Birch on John T. Scott
