Early Primitive Hand Painted Folk Art Signs
Wow! We just acquired these fabulous early primitive hand painted folk art signs advertising farm produce. Perhaps they were in a General Store or at a Farm Stand!
These would be lovely as kitchen decor!
This sign painter catches your eye with red paint, plain script and a friendly face as familiar as your grandma’s.
Folk Art encompasses art produced from an indigenous culture or by peasants or other laboring tradespeople. Folk art is primarily utilitarian and decorative rather than purely aesthetic. Folk Art is characterized by a naive style, in which traditional rules of proportion and perspective are not employed.
The nature of folk art is specific to its particular culture. In this case, the artist is advertising goods for sale.
