註釋

Folk artists, whether of yesterday or today, are the ongoing celebrants of the American experience & spirit. Although their work may be appreciated on aesthetics alone, they are also social historians whose text flows powerfully through paint, wood, stone, metal, clay, & fabric to provide a vivid look at the content of American life. This book, richly illustrated with over 260 color plates, presents a sampling of the wealth & variety of American folk art from the late 17th through the late 20th century. Its scope includes objects from many diverse subject areas -- paintings, household furnishings of many kinds, textiles, sculpture, & environments.
