Annie's father was  Mose Tolliver.

Gallery owner Anton Haardt's admiration of Mose T's talent led to both a long friendship and working relationship and a book of Mose T's works. Mose Tolliver used to hang his paintings in a tree outside his home in Montgomery, Ala., pricing them at one or two dollars a piece," writes Anton Haardt in Mose T. From A to Z: The Folk Art of Mose Tolliver, a biography, lushly illustrated, by the woman whose eponymous Magazine Street gallery has perhaps the city's most extensive inventory of high-quality works by black Southern folk artists. In 1969 Haardt began buying pictures from Tolliver.  She would drive to New Orleans and sell them for $20. to Gaspari, who had a gallery in the Quarter. "Gaspari would sell them for $75 a piece," she says. "I'd give all the money from the sales to Mose, and he would give me two paintings in return."In 1982, his works were displayed  in Washington, D.C., at the prestigious Corcoran Museum of Art's landmark exhibit Black Folk Art in America, 1930-1980. --Jason Berry, Gambit
