Abstract

A biography of sculptor William Edmondson is presented. He was born around 1882 near Nashville, Tennessee, to George and Jane Edmondson. He attended the United Primitive Baptist Church and became a religious convert. Edmondson claimed that he had visions from God, who commanded him to cut figures. He responded to the visions by creating stone sculpture.
