Details: | Material Witness: Folk and Self-Taught Artists at Work will be on view at the American Folk Art Museum from March 17, 2023, through October 29, 2023. Organized into four distinct sections, the exhibition will explore how artists learn with and through material engagement, often in ways that evade and exceed conventional frameworks for artistic training. One section will highlight artistic practices that respect and respond to the properties of regionally-sourced materials. Featured are works by artists including Jimmy Lee Sudduth, Ammi Phillips, and Jesse Aaron, as well as examples of earthenware, fraktur, and watercolor paintings. Another section will explore why makers gravitate to certain media and methods, such as sculpting, painting and textile-making, and consider what prompts changes to artistic approach over time.
