Parables and Politics & Elijah Pierce’s Art

Elijah Pierce is one of the best known artists associated with Columbus. His works are held by major collections and his legacy continues to influence artists both locally and beyond. That’s a good thing. He deserves it. There are few artists who’ve had the impact and influence that Pierce has. The downside to all this notoriety is the tendency to take him for granted; to pigeon-hole him, to think about him in two-dimensional, short-hand descriptors: “Elijah Pierce? Oh yeah, woodcarver, folk artist. Had a barber shop on the east side. Real salt of the earth guy. Religious too, right?”
