In 1978 a 70 year old black farm worker in rural Glascock County, Georgia, received what he believed to be a call from God. Though unable to read or write J.B. Murray began to draw and paint flowing abstractions under what he understood to be the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Over the next ten years, Murray created paintings of ghostly figures and elongated shapes that represented 'the people what is living like God don't exist.' By the time of his death in 1988, Murray's work had been shown in art galleries all over the world. This is the story of how he rose to become an artist of international acclaim.
