Boundless Spirit: American Folk Art at Fenimore Art Museum
April 1–December 31
Folk art is produced and valued for its beauty and expressive power, its dynamic aesthetic of linear forms, strong colors, the combination of decorative and utilitarian concerns, and the sense of familiarity it evokes by reflecting everyday life. Boundless Spirit brings together the best of Fenimore Art Museum’s distinguished collection of American folk art to share the complex spirit of a diverse and ever-changing nation. These voices from the past and present have much to tell us about ourselves and the heritage we all share.
Sponsored in part by Dr. Jeffrey Pressman and Dr. Nancy Kollisch.
