Black and color illustrated wraps French flaps 296 pp. color illustrations throughout. "What is a self-taught genius During the post-Revoluntionary era in the newly found United States this characterization took on profound dimensions that were pivotal to the development of a start-up nation conceived on an experimental model: all of the nation's citizens were self-taught Americans. Self-Taught Genius comprising more than one hundred works of art from the collection of the American Folk Art Museum considers the changing implications of 'self-taught' in the United States from a deeply entrenched and widespread culture of self-education in the early national period to its usage today to describe artists working outside the art historical canon. The exhibition frames the continuum of American folk art through the concept of 'self-taught genius' an enduring term that like the artworks themselves has changed dramaticall over time: the early American folk art we so admire today was made by the self-taught artists of the past." - from inside flap.
