Ulysses Davis (1914–1990) was a Savannah, Georgia, barber who created a diverse but unified body of highly refined sculpture that reflects his deep faith, humor, and dignity. His carvings were featured in the seminal 1982 exhibition "Black Folk Art in America, 1930–1980" at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where they were applauded as important examples of African American vernacular art.
