Folk art gave Americans the chance to tell their stories through their own unique visual languages. Self-taught artists, such as the one who produced this work, began expressing themselves through whatever medium was readily available. This beautiful example of American folk art was color styled with Dupont Savalux, using Fast Colors by Scotchguard and printed onto Riverdale Fabric. It is reminiscent of the landscapes of Grandma Moses in its naïve, but enthralling composition which gives us a peek into the every day lives of rural Americans during fall harvest. Houses dot the rolling hills, but the bustling of activity in the large house in the foreground is really the focal point of the piece. Children and adults alike tend to their chores of cooking, cleaning, roofing, and selling of the freshly picked apples and pumpkins. The surface of the fabric has been playfully embellished with multiple colors of glitter to highlight the leaves of the trees and the sun-drenched pitches of roofs. In the distance beyond the trees a wonderful splash of blue glitter accentuates the mountain tops drawing the eye toward the horizon. The image, including the natural wood frame, measures 22 ¼ x 16 ¼. Only in folk art can we truly see our cultural history unfold through the eyes of those who lived it. This piece would be a fabulous addition to any collection of folk art or Americana and is definitely a bargain not to be missed.
