I got a chill when I encountered a red and yellow Thornton Dial assemblage about as big as a goat at the High Museum in Atlanta a few months ago. Then I learned a Tallahassee couple, Lou and Calynne Hill, collect his work. I visited a few in a hallway at the FSU School of Medicine; the Hills also donated some Dial works to the Gadsden Arts Center in Quincy. Several Dial watercolors will be exhibited there through April 27, and I went to see them. They are faint compared to the vibrant piece that first captivated me, but about as haunting as watercolorss can be. They're 23" x 30." You can read more about them on the Arts Center site.
