Книга: Barter Judith A.| Obniski Monica «For Kith and Kin»
Производитель: "Неизвестный" The Art Institute of Chicago is home to one of the world`s finest and largest collections of American folk art. `For Kith and Kin` provides an introduction to that collection through more than sixty of its most outstanding objects. Selected by premier American art scholar Judith A. Barter, the majority of these objects have never before been published. In a groundbreaking opening essay, Barter revisits the earliest days of folk-art collecting in Chicago, beginning in the 1890s. She pays special attention to the passionate individuals who sought out unique and expressive examples of American folk art, building private collections that they later donated to the Art Institute. Including beautiful reproductions and detailed entries for each of the sixty-one objects it features, this book highlights an array of masterworks such as `primitive` New England portraits, a face jug from South Carolina, New Mexican ceramics, a weathervane, and ship figureheads.
