A book that crosses over conventional art historical categories,
American Vernacular presents hundreds of newly identified and never
before published objects, from carnival figures to religious totems,
from antique trade signs to the most spectacular examples of carved
canes. The book reveals the powerful strains of imagination that
have shaped American visual landscape and continue to nourish cutting-edge
artists today. With over four hundred color photographs and insightful
commentary by leading experts, this book is a thorough and engaging
exploration that is essential reading for collectors, artists, and
anyone interested in the instinctive creative process.
