The quintessential
guide to folk art in America illustrates more than 400 outstanding
examples of American craft covering four major categories: painted,
drawn, or stitched pictures, sculpture, architectural decoration,
and decorated household objects. Pages include photographs and
information on weathervanes, ship figureheads, tinware, toys,
quilts, painted furniture, and more.
Folk art can
encompass a wide variety of antique objects. Some may be true folk
art, created to fill a need in the community, while other pieces may
have been created in what’s referred to as a folk aesthetic. This
video discusses the difference between these two concepts.
