Augustus A. “Gus” Wynn (1890–1966) was an American folk artist and woodcarver from Henry County, Tennessee, known for his intricately carved tramp art boxes. While incarcerated at the Tennessee State Penitentiary beginning in 1936, Wynn produced elaborate wooden boxes and mechanical folk art constructions, including miniature carnivals. His distinctive chip-carved boxes, often incorporating sliding lids and hidden compartments, are recognized examples of twentieth-century American folk art.
