We helped organize an exhibition back in 1985 on this topic: A Time to Reap: Late Blooming Folk Artists. Exhibition co-curated by Barbara Wahl Kaufman and Didi Barrett. (South Orange, NJ: Seton Hall University; New York: Museum of American Folk Art, 1985.) 44 p. It featured 51 American self-taught artists, including Grandma Moses, who all started making art in old age. (At least 54 years old apparently, though that wasn't the specific criterion.) Looking at it briefly, the most important other figures I see there are William Edmondson, Bill Traylor, Martin Ramirez, Eddie Arning, William Hawkins, Clementine Hunter, Harry Lieberman, Gertrude Morgan, Jon Serl, and Joseph Yoakam. (imho) I don't know if we have any extra copies available, but you might find it a useful source. James Mitchell Librarian, American Folk Art Museum Shirley K.
