Title:	The House my Daddy Built
Artist:	Ward, Velox (Mount Vernon, Texas, 1901 - 1994)
Date:	1975
Medium:	Original Collotype
Publisher:	APC Editions, New York
Note:	Velox Ward: In some ways Velox Ward is Texas's answer to Grandma Moses. He began his first painting at the age of sixty in order to make a gift for his grand-daughter. Within several years Ward was recognized as a major creative contributor to the genre of 'folk art' or 'primitivism'. Today such major institutions as the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, and the Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, include examples of Ward's art in their permanent collections.
	The House my Daddy Built was created for an important 1975 portfolio entitled, America: The Third Century. For the portfolio the publisher, APC Editions, commissioned original serigraphs, lithographs and collotypes from such leading artists as Christo, Alan D'Arcangelo, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg and James Rosenquist.
	The House my Daddy Built is a superb example of the folk art of Velox Ward. 'Daddy' sits back after finishing his supper, 'Mammy' is out on the porch feeding the scraps to the cat. The dog sleeps under the house while the chickens find sanctuary from the snow under the porch. This great work is surely timeless and surreal in its utter simplicity.
