Canadian Folk Art to 1950 Paperback

Paperback

Item not Available

Description

Immerse yourself in more than 425 previously unpublished colour photographs of Canada's disappearing traditional folk art.

The authors' discovery of distinctive objects from across Canada inspired them to re-classify folk art, and to analyze and interpret their examples in 17 thematic chapters.

The "aesthetic of the everyday" of Canada's material heritage is presented through paintings and carvings, quilts and rugs, tables and trade signs-just to mention a few.

These traditional art forms of diverse community groups express a decorative cultural identity, documented through the unique lens of photographer James A.

Chambers. Historians, curators, collectors, designers, and dealers, as well as anyone who appreciates material culture, will want to have this collection in their libraries.
