Prisioner Artist "Gus" Wynn's Tramp Art Box

Item Details

Description

A tramp art box by Gus Wynn who served 30 years in jail for murder. The box exhibits the unique characteristics of his signature style having the front handle, sliding top, scalloped skirt, and a drawer. It appears to be an early example from the period when he first preformed in his ‘Wynn’s Carnival’. He preformed for visitors to the Tennessee State Prison where he spent 30 years for murdering his brother-in-law in 1936. In the enclosed photograph Wynn is preforming on a stage and there are several of the tramp art boxes visible. He would open the sliding tops on the tramp art so the audience could deposit their mostly silver coins. At one time he was considered to be the richest man in the prison system. His story is found in A Legacy in Tramp Art pages 23 - 27. Circa 1940s. In very good condition. DImensions: 8" high x 10.5" wide x 7.5" deep
