Church Fan: Sister Gertrude Morgan Everlasting Gospel Teacher Revelation 14

Sister Gertrude Morgan

American, 1900 - 1980

This painted "prayer" fan by Sister Gertrude Morgan uses the vivid, contrasting range of colors preferred by a number of folk artists. Narrative in its subject matter, the crowded compositions of her work often record religious visions or parables from the Bible.
