Download or read book All American Folk Arts and Crafts written by William C. Ketchum and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 1986 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Written by a recognized authority in the field and illustrated with many specially commissioned full-color photographs, the book proudly present the spirit of the American nation as it has been expressed by generations of American craftspeople. The nation's symbols--the eagle, the flag, Uncle Sam, Liberty--and its ideals--freedom, home, religion--have been worked and reworked in many dramatic forms for more than two hundred years. Each artist has imbued his work with his generation's understanding of what the country stands for. The variety of forms of patriotic folk art is matched only by the variety of the artists. Painting and sculpture, carved weathervanes and whirligigs, ceramics, quilts and rugs, toys, painted furniture, shop signs, and religious symbols have been created by men and women of all ages and social levels, some working to earn a living, some working only for the joy of creating. Each chapter covers one symbol or ideal and shows how it has been reproduced in various forms that range from home-spun simplicity to ingenious sophistication, evoking the individuality, self-confidence, and optimism that are central to the American experience."--book jacket.

Download or read book German Folk Arts of New York State written by Mary Antoine de Julio and published by Albany Institute of History and Art. This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The folk industry and beautiful crafts of German settlers in New York State come to light in this richly illustrated volume. Following the devastating Thirty Years War, waves of Germans migrated to the New York region in the first decade of the seventeenth century. The settlers brought with them a rich, enduring tradition of painted furniture, carved objects, and embroidered cloth, folk arts that continued for at least five generations, well into the late nineteenth century. Featured here are some of the most striking and well known of those craft traditions: the famous painted wooden chests, everyday tools, paintings, book covers, textiles, decorated boxes, chairs, and other distinctively rendered furniture. The detailed description and analysis of these craft traditions offer a powerful and unique glimpse of German settlers in New York State and reveal their long-standing influence on the history of the region. Mary Antoine de Julio is a historian and the author of "What a Rich Reward!": Betsey Reynolds Voorhees and the Collection of Her Handiwork. She is co-owner of La Maison Ravoux Bread and Breakfast in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. Roderic H. Blackburn is an ethnologist and architectural historian who has held positions as Director of Research at Historic Cherry Hill, Assistant Director of the Albany Institute of History and Art, and Senior Research Fellow at the New York State Museum. He is the author of Dutch Colonial Homes in America; Great Houses of New England; and (with Ruth Piwonka) Remembrance of Patria: Dutch Arts and Culture in Colonial America, 1609–1776.
