Download or read book American Folk Paintings written by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Center and published by Bulfinch. This book was released on 1988 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""The peculiar charm of their work results sometimes from what would be technical inadequacies from the academic view, distortion, curiously personal perspective, and what not. But they were not simply artists who lacked adequate training. The work of the best of them has a directness, unity, and a power which one does not always find in the work of standard masters." In the half century since these words were written by Holger Cahill, who assisted Abby Aldrich Rockefeller in her early collecting of American folk art, these powerful and charming images have been ever more enthusiastically embraced. The works presented here are of great variety: landscapes, seascapes, portraits of homes, farms, and factories, still lifes, religious and historical paintings, fraktur and decorative writings, and mourning pictures. Many of the artists are anonymous, but others, including Ammi Phillips, Erastus Salisbury Field, and Grandma Moses, are well known. A special section is devoted to Edward Hicks. Another section examines the work of Lewis Miller, whose lively sketchbooks are a remarkable resource for investigations into life and customs in nineteenth-century America. Three hundred eighty-three paintings and drawings, exquisitely reproduced and thoroughly examined and documented, are presented."--book jacket.

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.
