Famous Folk Art Quotes:
“I just get it in my mind and I just go ahead and paint but I can’t look at nothing and paint. No trees, no nothing. I just make my own tree in my mind, that’s the way I paint.” – Clementine Hunter
“In spite of their obvious differences, Folk Art and popular art have much in common. They are easy to understand. They are romantic, patriotic, conventionally moral. And they are held in deep affection. Popular artists can be serious, like Frederick Remington, or trivial, like Charles Dana Gibson. They can be persons of genius like Chaplin or of talent like Harold Lloyd. They can be as universal as Dickens or as parochial as Sheila Kaye-Smith. One thing common to all of them is the power to communicate directly with everyone.” – Gilbert Seldes
“Our appreciation of Folk Art will strengthen our identities, our pride in belonging to a community.” – F. Sionil José
And here’s our favourite quote re Folk Art painting: “The whole of life. Already framed.” – Maud Lewis
