Illustrating more than 400 outstanding examples of folk art produced during the period of its finest flowering, this book documents the first major exhibition to survey the entire range of American folk art. The objects shown here were selected from more than 10,000 examples owned by institutions, collectors, and dealers. With the exhibition of these splendid works at the Whitney Museum of American Art, American folk art took its rightful place among the art forms worthy of international recognition. With its profuse illustration and perceptive commentary on these works of art, The Flowering of American Folk Art set the standards by which folk art in America is evaluated. It remains the quintessential guide to the art. Four major categories of works are represented: pictures that are painted, drawn, and stitched; sculpture; architectural decoration; and decorated household objects. The extraordinary range and quality of American folk art are revealed by such diverse subjects as portraits, genre and religious scenes, ship figureheads, weathervanes, toys, tinware, tavern signs, painted furniture, quilts, and works in many other categories. Though primitive or naive in the sense that they were fashioned by artisans or amateur artists rather than "fine" artists, these objects possess an originality, a power, and a beauty that represent a central contribution to the mainstream of American culture in the formative years of our democracy. This is a body of art rich beyond belief. The 400 illustrations in this book include more than 100 in color. In addition, there are brief essays on each type of object; detailed captions for each work; biographical notes on the artists; and a selected bibliography. For the collector, the connoisseur, and the student of American history and culture, this is an invaluable sourcebook.
