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.
Download or read book Folk Photography written by Luc Sante and published by Verse Chorus Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A penetrating analysis of the real-photo postcard phenomenon of the early 1900s. These cards depict the now vanished world of small-town America, but also represent a pivotal stage in the evolution of photography. Their head-on style inherits something of the plain aesthetic of the Civil War photographers, while anticipating the great 1930s documentary artists such as Walker Evans. Fusing his skills as a chronicler of early 20th-century America, a historian of photography and a keen critic, Sante shows how these postcards offer a revealing 'self-portrait of the American nation'.

Discover one hundred of the greatest folk artists practicing in the United States in Folk Masters: A Portrait of America. Over the past twenty-five years, photographer Tom Pich has traveled the country to the homes and studios of recipients of the National Endowment for the Arts’ National Heritage Fellowship, the highest honor given to folk and traditional artists in the nation. His portraits give us a glimpse into their art, their process, and their culture. While each image tells a story on its own, Barry Bergey, former Director of Folk and Traditional Arts at the National Endowment for the Arts, provides further insight into the lives of each featured artist as well as the remarkable stories behind each photograph. Folk Masters honors again the extraordinary women and men who simultaneously take the traditional arts to new heights while ensuring their continuation from generation to generation. “This beautiful, informative, and exquisitely produced book features 100 extraordinary traditional artists from across America, each a recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowship—the nation’s highest award for excellence in the folk and traditional arts. Folk Masters is a stunning tribute to the great diversity of cultures and artistic traditions that enrich our country.” —Marjorie Hunt, Folklife Curator, Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage “Folk Masters documents and honors the extraordinary women and men who take traditional arts to new heights while also ensuring their continuation from generation to generation.” —The Library of Congress “Folk Masters is visual, emotional, and inspirational. Here is a portrait of America many Americans never see and may not believe actually exists. Pich and Bergey have done an admirable job of conveying their vision.” —Journal of Folklore Research
