Many self-taught artists start creating later in life; Thornton Dial's singularity lay in the nature of his production. Instead of recording memories or Bible stories, he tackled ambitious subjects that were often political: women's roles; the Vietnam War; and the travails and progress of African Americans, for which he often chose a tiger figure to symbolize himself or African Americans generally challenging the world. Moreover, where most self-taught artists gravitate to some form of relatively tidy representation, however idiosyncratic, Dial's style from the beginning was expressionist and even abstract. Although he had never visited an art museum, Dial's gestural boldness, large scale, heavily encrusted surfaces, and disdain for prettiness gave his work a look that was more downtown than down-home and very much aligned with the 1980s contemporary-art scene.
