Folk art

Folk art encompasses art produced from an indigenous culture or by peasants or other laboring tradespeople In contrast to fine art, Folk art is primarily utilitarian and decorative rather than purely aesthetic[1]As a phenomenon that can chronicle a move towards civilization yet rapidly diminish with modernity, industrialization, or outside influence, the nature of Folk art is specific to its particular culture

The varied geographical and temporal prevalence and diversity of Folk art make it difficult to describe as a whole, though some patterns have been demonstratedAntique Folk art is distinguished from traditional art in that while it is collected today based mostly on its artistic merit; it was never intended as a category to be art for art's sake Examples include: weathervanes, old store signs and carved figures, itinerant portraits, carousel horses, fire buckets, painted game boards, cast iron doorstops and many other similar lines of highly collectible "whimsical" antiques
