HELEN LAFRANCE - The Steeplechase (c. 1995)

Helen LaFrance (1919-2020)

Oil on Panel 56" x 19.5"

Helen was a self-taught Black American artist born in Graves County, Kentucky. Helen has often been described as both an outsider artist due to her lack of formal training and existence outside the cultural mainstream and as a memory painter, best known for her captures of the disappearing lifestyle of the rural South. Helen has been referred to as “the Black Grandma Moses.”

Helen is best known for her memory paintings of rural life in Western Kentucky. Her works often depict scenes from her childhood, including church gatherings. community events, and landscapes. LaFrance's art is characterized by its vibrant colors, flattened perspective, and attention to detail.

Her paintings have been exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States, and are included in numerous private and public collections. LaFrance's work provides a valuable glimpse into the history and culture of rural Black communities in the 20th century. Her paintings are highly sought after by collectors of folk art, including Oprah Winfrey.
