Title: A Treasure of Folk Art and Inspirational Nostalgia
Product review: This book is an extraordinary find. It came into my possession around 1990, when my artsy aunt was purging her book collection. I confiscated her copy from the trash and consider this book among my prized possessions.Native Flash and Funk captures images and stories of truly creative and talented artisans and crafters.Truly, you MUST look at the images to appreciate the artistic skills of these artists. I have a great attraction to the wood-carved doors, if I could find one, I would very quickly save the money and have one installed! Secondly I am in awe of the embroidered shirt (a young woman created the shirt while serving time in prison, the nuns taught her to embroider and she became a true visionary with skill). Not to mention the beautiful batik clothing, and touching stories. (okay, so the penny kamode did make me giggle...)This book is a valuable piece of history that highlights the creative flow of the Haight-Ashbury era.
