SynopsisThis volume is a celebration of the best in contemporary folk art. It seeks to honour the exceptional insight, wit and reverence of these underestimated self-taught painters and sculptors. It discusses the bold carvings of S.L. Jones, the eerie characters painted by Jon Serl, the magnificent divine inspirations of Reverend Howard Finster and Josephus Farmer, the engaging scenes of Albina Felski's circus and more.
