Connecting to People through Portraits
Like a photograph, a portrait represents a picture of a person.
Everybody Collects
The kinds of objects, artifacts, and artworks that people collect communicate different ideas. They can be a record of events that happened in society.
Folk Art, Vernacular Art, or Naïve Art?
Many of the objects in the Fielding Collection such as Still Life with a Basket of Fruit, Flowers, and Cornucopia attributed to Joseph Proctor are often considered “folk art.” Some people prefer to use related terms like “naïve,” “vernacular,” or “nonacademic” instead of “folk.” All of these terms describe work by artists who may not have had extensive, formal training or decided not to follow the teachings and ideas of traditional art instruction.
