Industry Reviews
Whether termed visionaries, outsiders, or primitives, the artists represented here live in worlds of their own creation. Sloan, director of the Halsey Gallery at the College of Charleston School of the Arts, and folklorist/curator Manley present an international collection of folk art environments that range from cement towers incorporating bits of pottery in mosaic patterns to multiacre sites filled with temples to cement-figure sculpture gardens. Generally, the entries are two to four pages in length and include brief biographical notes, a discussion of the artist's unique personal style and particular need to create, and a description of the composition and current condition of the site. An index notes location, and photographs capture the passion of these eccentrics and their deeply felt opinions and religious beliefs. Not merely chicken wire, cement, and junk, these personal kingdoms are a testimony to creativity, imagination, and ingenuity. Recommended for comprehensive art collections.
