Folk Art Museum

Welcome to FolkArtMuseum.com! FolkArtMuseum.com is a highly categorized in-depth informational resource for all terms related to Folk Art Museum. About us.


Folk art encompasses art produced from an indigenous culture or by peasants or other laboring tradespeople. In contrast to fine art, folk art is primarily utilitarian and decorative rather than purely aesthetic. Folk Art is characterized by a naive style, in which traditional rules of proportion and perspective are not employed. Closely related terms are Outsider Art, Self-Taught Art and Naïve art.

As a phenomenon that can chronicle a move towards civilization yet rapidly diminish with modernity, industrialization, or outside influence, the nature of folk art is specific to its particular culture. The varied geographical and temporal prevalence and diversity of folk art make it difficult to describe as a whole, though some patterns have been demonstrated.

I have a piece of art and want to know what it's worth.?
Q. I have a painting with the initials A.or D. Kaufmann or Kauffman. I've gone on the internet and to some art sites and saw one with a signature that looked the the signature on mine. It sold at auction for $3,000. The image is of a empty boat on the water and is quite pretty and very well done. My question is, what's my next step? Do I take it to an art auction place? or do I take it to a museum? Or do I take it to an art appraiser? I'd like to sell it. How do I know the folks I let look at it won't just steal it?

Brighton or Manchester for a 19 year-old American to study abroad Spring 2012?
Q. I'm a Psychology major with a double minor in Speech and Hearing Science (Language Pathology) and Dance. I currently live in Arizona and have never been to Europe, so quite frankly I'm more interested in the city than the school's prestige. It's between University of Sussex and University of Manchester. I'm into history, art and music (folk, indie pop and rock). I'd love a location that makes it easy for me to travel to London, Wales, Ireland and France--specifically. I'm concerned about the history part with both Brighton and Manchester. Are there any historical gems besides museums in either city? Also, what are the trade offs from living in either city? I really appreciate any advice or input... it's kinda hard just relying on the… [cont.]

A. To visit London, Brighton is only 51 minutes by train from London Victoria. In london you can connect to anywhere else in the country. To visit Paris you can get the Eurostar direct from St Pancras International. Welsh trains leave from London Paddington - you're better off flying to Ireland. Flight to Ireland depart from most London Airports but the nearest airport to Brighton is London Gatwick and Aer Lingus fly from there direct to Dublin. If you're looking for Historical gems - Brighton has a former Royal Palace - The Brighton Pavilion, it's open to the public. Brighton and Hove is a far smaller City than Manchester and easier to get around, although if you're at Sussex you may be able to live on Campus as it's some way from Central… [cont.]
