Living with Folk Art by Nicholas Barnard
Turkoman jewelry above a cottage fireplace, Pueblo pots brightening kitchen shelves - here are the interiors where ethnic art shines as a challenging stylish alternative to conventional decoration. This book reveals tribal and folk art harmonized with the best Western design. It charts the growing appreciation of ethnic arts and details the original significance of the objects. A world survey documents the peoples who made them and displays ideas and advice on care and collection. A directory lists galleries and retailers. Exotic, charming, unusual and provocative, folk art is shown to transform interiors of all kinds.
