Lavishly illustrated in color, this early out-of-print book is an in-depth pictorial guide to American folk art.
AMERICAN FOLK ART by William C. Ketchum, Jr., Todtri Productions Ltd., NY, 1995.
'Folk art – the art of the common man – is as much a part of the American way of life as baseball and apple pie. Since the time of the earliest settlers, Americans – professionals and amateurs alike – have been expressing their individuality through the creation and embellishment of everyday objects. From furniture and kitchen utensils to weathervanes and shop signs, folk art has come to be synonymous with the art of inclusion. In this beautifully illustrated volume, noted author and curator, William Ketchum explores our glorious folk-art heritage in all its simple splendor. An integral part of our American culture and history, folk art is a fascinating and wide-ranging topic. This book, with its stunning illustrations and engrossing commentary, will prove an invaluable addition to the library of any collector or enthusiast.'
