Treasury of American Design & Antiques: A Pictorial Survey of Popular Folk Arts Based upon Watercolor Renderings in the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Artby Clarence P Hornung
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:The Index of American Design, a record of American craft traditions
from early Colonial times to the close of the 19th century, was
executed during the 1930s under the WPA by hundreds of artists from
35 states, each of whom searched a specific area for the finest or
most representative examples of American design and then rendered
them in watercolor or tempera. Some 3,000 selected illustrations,
including 800 in color, were published in two volumes in 1950. This
reprint is in one volume, under the Abradale imprint of Abrams, which
makes backlist favorites available at low cost. Here are displayed
photos, drawings, and paintings of furniture, cooking and eating
utensils, and decorative objects, with text describing features and
highlights. Oversize: 9x12".
