Exceptional Watercolor of Jesus by Stephen J.M. Palmer (1862-1965) - Measures 35 x 36 inches, Signed, Stephen J Palmer. Stephen J Palmer (1882 - 1965) worked as a farm laborer and logger in rural Wisconsin and Minnesota. As published by Raw Vision, ”Stephen Palmer produced a massive record of Christian faith in the guise of roughly 400 known and recently rediscovered mixed media paintings and drawings on paper. As private devotional art, the works announce the layered complexity and subversive potential of religious imagery. As artifacts uncovered, they speak about the Cold War era in America. They collectively hold clues to reconstructing the psychology and motivations of an individual.”
