Expressions of Innocence and Eloquence: Selections from the Jane Katcher Collection of Americana January 9, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Well produced book with excellent photography. The essays by noted folk art experts was a great concept however they were primarily geared towards historical context and overall presentation of photographed works in the book.

A better format would have been these same individuals critiquing the relative merits of the pieces -- their strengths and their weaknesses, thus defining clearer for the reader how to assess the overall merits and quality of differing pieces within a sub-group -- in effect, their eyes educating the reader in the details and nuances of good folk art.
