Earl Eyman (1891-1971) was a wood carver who worked in Drumright, Oklahoma. The eyes and faces of his carvings are very distinctive. Please see the examples below. He is also known to have 2 dimensional paintings as well. Known examples are individual figures, circus wagons and performers, marching bands, softball teams, a motorized trapeze act, and others. Here is a picture of Earl Eyman in his workshop.
We are seeking examples of Earl Eyman’s work for a book to be published in 2022. Please contact us here or call David Pickel at 215-572-9252. We would like to identify as many examples of his work as possible for this book. We are planning photography for late Summer 2021.
The Drumright Historical Society has a significant collection of Earl Eyman’s work.
His work is in the collection of The American Folk Art Museum.
