John Bunion (J.B.) Murray (also spelled Murry; 1908–1988) was an African-American abstract expressionist painter from Glascock County, GA. His work is now in many important collections, including that of the American Folk Art Museum and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and has been featured in many museum exhibitions, including "Self-Taught Genius" at AFAM and "When the Stars Begin to Fall" at the Studio Museum.
