Description:Twentieth-century folk sculptor and Civil War veteran in his eighties, Carr began carving totem trees around 1911, using dead maples on his property as a medium for carving numerous faces, figures, animals and imaginary creatures, later painting them in various colors. His "Totem Farm" in the Finger Lakes Region of New York became a tourist site featuring his totem trees and other weird carvings strewn about his property. This may be the earliest publication on a twentieth century American folk artist (Carr is not to be found in any of the bibliographies or surveys of the subject).
