"Folk Art Revealed" Exhibition
Permanent event
At American Folk Art Museum
Media: Painting, Sculpture, Furniture, Crafts
"Folk Art Revealed," opened on November 16, 2004. The exhibition explores the nature of folk art through four themes applied to a diverse range of artwork from the museum's rich and extensive holdings, many of which have never before been on view. These four perspectives: symbolism, utility, individuality, and community-- infuse all of folk art and speak to essential aspects of both traditional and unconventional expressions. Spanning the 18th century to the present, the works selected by curators Stacy C. Hollander and Brooke Davis Anderson, invite a deeper understanding of folk art and its role in people's lives.
