Presented in full color, this collection of examples from Florida artists attests to an intensely personal yet universal desire for selfexpression.From sculpture in wood and tin to paintings on canvas, grocery bags, and old pizza boxes, the pieces display a raw emotion and independent spirit that typically disregard artistic rules, training, and traditions. Gary Monroe examines the distinctive features of each artist's work and places it in the context of the national dialogue about folk art. He also summarizes the current debate about terminologylabels such as nave, outsider, visionary, vernacular, and folk all have been used to describe these mavericksin a discussion that challenges presumptions about aesthetic criticism.The book explores each artist's creative process, revealing lives fueled by inner inspiration and generally isolated from the art market, from institutional support, and from mainstream culture. It also includes dramatic photographic portraits of the artistssome with international reputations and others known mainly in Florida or entirely unknown to the publicas well as information about their background, current works, and location in the state.For artists, collectors, art historians, museum and gallery personnel, and for the general audience of art enthusiasts as well as visitors to the state, this handsome book captures an original piece of Florida's cultural heritage.
