*What
Is Folk Art, and Is
It Still Made Today?
American
folk art is an embracing term that has been used
in the United States since the late 19th century.
The term "folk art" originated in
Europe, where it was used to refer to the
household arts and decorative traditions of
peasant communities that developed during the
Middle Ages.
The history of the term's usage in this country,
however, is markedly different. The class- and
community-based definition has given way to a more
expansive approach to the subject. To be sure,
those traditional handmade and embellished
materials of daily life that can be utilitarian,
decorative, recreational, or ceremonial in nature
are included. In these categories, the form and
decoration are often determined by factors such as
cultural heritage and religion, but are also
influenced by shared national experiences,
exposure to other cultural byways, changing needs,
and images imparted through the mass media.
In the United States, the term "folk
art" is also applied to a wide spectrum of
artworks by self-taught artists who have come to
their art-making in unconventional and personal
ways, outside the canons of fine art academies.
