ANTIQUE SLIDESHOW ANTIQUES ON NATURAL HISTORY PRINTS FROM BRITISH EXPLORATIONS

Thursday, November 20 at 1:00 pm

From 1620 to 1880, farming was the largest American industry, and it remains an important component of the national economy. This slideshow will feature folk art items created to express the experiences of American farmers. Folk art differs from fine art in that it was created by individuals who did not have professional artistic training, but they did have a passion to create lasting images that captured aspects of their lives. Some of these works were paintings to be hung on walls, but often they were other media including sculpture, textiles, bound paper, or painted furniture. The speaker will be antiques journalist Bob Jackman. OPTIONAL: If you have an example of folk-art depicting farming, bring it to the show, and Bob will be happy to offer comments. While the talk will be organized around a sequence of 70 slides, the atmosphere will be informal with questions and answers throughout the presentation. Expect to learn a bit, share some laughs, and have a good time.  Admission is free. Sign up in advance at the front desk or by calling 781-834-5581.
