Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Folk Sculpture: The Work of Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Craftsmen; Exhibited October 20, 1931 to January 31, 1932As a logical successor of that collection, the Newark Museum now presents, in an exhibit of American Folk Sculpture, an even greater revelation of the art that characterized the work of many humble and unschooled Americans of former days.As charming as the paintings were, we could not persuade ourselves entirely that we were viewing an wholly native expression of American growth. as Mr. Cahill pointed out in his introduction to the catalogue of that exhibit, most of the artists represented had no doubt seen originals or reproductions of paintings of foreign schools. They were endeavoring in their own work to approximate the same effects.What is so stimulating about the present exhibit is that we have in it a truer and more indigenous expression of the Amer ican artistic sense because of its very absence of pretense and importance.When the men here represented laid their hands to their tasks, whether in the production of a weather vane, a decoy, an emblem, or a tradesman's sign, they doubtless did not aspire to the rank of painters of portraits and landscapes. They were fashioning articles for practical uses. Not being consciously engaged upon art, they consulted no guide but nature. The high result which they frequently achieved is eloquent of the truth of their observation and the reverence and affection with which they handled their material.Here is another persuasive example of the truth of John Cotton Dana's constant assertion that articles of common and humble character may well be as significant expressions of Art as products of cost and circumstance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
