FOLK ART is a broad term used to describe a range of artistic expression of the people of a country or region as well as the art of some individuals. Many folk artists were not academically trained. Folk painters were often concerned with recording the ordinary activities of life, and their direct and honest depiction of subjects usually reflected social and cultural characteristics. Flowers rendered in simple stroke work were a popular choice of subject material. Naive figures and decorative design, bright colours, and unrealistic spatial relationships often characterise folk art. |
