Folk Art

These works favor plain, direct subjects: simple still lifes, quiet river views, and portraits of children and families rendered with flattened perspective and careful detail. Figures and scenes alike feel sincere and unadorned, as in "Girl in a Red Dress" by Ammi Phillips, with everyday life shown in a straightforward, homespun manner.
