Untitled (great Black Bull) is a notable work by Bill Traylor, an African American self-taught artist who gained recognition for his distinctive style and compelling narrative compositions. Created in the late 1930s or early 1940s, this piece is emblematic of Traylor's oeuvre, which often depicted scenes from his life in rural Alabama and his observations of urban life in Montgomery.

Bill Traylor was born into slavery in 1853 on a cotton plantation in Benton, Alabama. After emancipation, he continued to work as a sharecropper and laborer. It wasn't until he was in his 80s, living on the streets of Montgomery, that Traylor began to draw and paint. His works, created on found cardboard and other discarded materials, provide a vivid visual record of African American life in the post-Reconstruction South.

Untitled (great Black Bull) exemplifies Traylor's use of bold, simplified forms and vibrant colors. The black bull, rendered in a striking silhouette, dominates the composition, capturing the viewer's attention with its imposing presence. Traylor's use of flat, unmodulated color and the absence of background detail lend the work a timeless, almost mythical quality. The bull, a recurring motif in Traylor's work, may symbolize strength, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the African American community.

Traylor's work was largely unrecognized during his lifetime, but he has since been celebrated as one of the most important self-taught artists of the 20th century. His art provides a unique and invaluable perspective on the African American experience, and his innovative use of form and composition has influenced generations of artists. Untitled (great Black Bull) stands as a testament to Traylor's artistic vision and his ability to convey powerful narratives through deceptively simple means.
