[FOLK ART]. [UNKNOWN ARTIST (“Jim M.” or “Jim Mc”)]. Painted Folk Art 45-RPM Record Box with Labor, Religious, Country Music, and Drug Motifs. [Likely Indianapolis, IN, ca. 1980s]. Metal carrying case with handle, with painted artwork inside and out. Approximately 8 ¾ x 7 ½ x 7 ½”. Some light wear, occasional rust visible. Very good. This self-work was created by an Indiana union ironworker. It is a highly personal statement with themes of labor, God, Music, motor engines, fear, sex, and drugs. An intriguing self-work, an autobiographical folk art box, a painted “self-portrait” of an imaginative Midwestern ironworker.
