Hidden Art Revealed

Flannery O’Connor, best known for her southern gothic literature, was also a visual artist, and her paintings, cartoons and linoleum-block prints reflect the same dark humor, wit and sharp observation found in her writing.

This compelling collection — nearly 70 newly discovered works that were unveiled to the world in March 2025 at Georgia College, on the 100th anniversary of O'Connor's birth — offers a unique glimpse into the creative mind of one of America's most beloved cultural figures.
