Thornton Modestus Dossett is the eighth name Ed McGowin legally adopted between Oct 1, 1970 and March 20, 1972. Ed went on to legally change his name a total of twelve times in this period. A world traveler, McGowin has immersed himself in cultures removed from the Western art styles and sought to approach art more directly, borrowing from tribal and ethnic traditions. Part of this eclectic approach has been rejecting the typical development usually expected from an artist and experimenting with new personas as a way of keeping close to a direct involvement with the viewer. A native of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, McGowin has taught at the University of Southern Mississippi, the Corcoran School of Art and the State University of New York. He has had over 100 solo exhibitions and is well known for his public site-specific sculptures.

For Schuyler, a book editor, her goal is to get on the other side of the typewriter and write her own book -- much to the dismay of her boyfriend, who is a Very Public Figure.

Thornton Modestus Dossett is the eighth name Ed McGowin legally adopted between Oct 1, 1970 and March 20, 1972. Ed went on to legally change his name a total of twelve times in this period. A world traveler, McGowin has immersed himself in cultures removed from the Western art styles and sought to approach art more directly, borrowing from tribal and ethnic traditions. Part of this eclectic approach has been rejecting the typical development usually expected from an artist and experimenting with new personas as a way of keeping close to a direct involvement with the viewer. A native of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, McGowin has taught at the University of Southern Mississippi, the Corcoran School of Art and the State University of New York. He has had over 100 solo exhibitions and is well known for his public site-specific sculptures.

The Mississippi Story

Eudora Welty wrote "It seems plain that the art that speaks more clearly, explicity, directly and passionately from it's place of origin will remain the longest understood." With that in mind, Patti Carr Black, art historian and guest curator of the Mississippi Story, says that the exhibition "explores art that is explicitly and passionately derived from Mississippi-its place of origin." The Mississippi Story is divided into four sections: the influence of the land on art, Mississippi's people as depicted in its art, life in Mississippi observed by its artists, and the exporting of Mississippi culture through its artists. The exhibition features artwork by Walter Anderson, George Ohr, Sam Gilliam, William Dunlap, John McCrady, Richmond Barthé, Eudora Welty, William Hollingsworth, Marie Hull, and William Eggleston, among many others.
