Claude Yoder Sculptures
Claude Yoder (1907 – 1991) grew up in the Amish-Mennonite community on a farm near Grantsville in Garrett County Maryland. His work shows what art critics call a technically naive but earthy sense of form and texture. The unique, fresh style received national recognition. Yoder’s family donated most of his life’s work to the museum.
