The book reveals the powerful strains of imagination that have shaped the American visual landscape and continue to nourish cutting-edge artists today. With over four hundred color photographs and insightful commentary by leading experts, American Vernacular is a thorough and engaging exploration that is essential reading for collectors, artists, and anyone interested in the instinctive creative process." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Animals and decoys; Canes; Carnival and circus figures; Figures and faces; Relgion and symbolism; Self-taught and outsider; Trade stimulators; Utilitarian; Weather vanes and whirligigs.
