However, to me, so much of what is labeled as folk art these days just doesn&#039;t pass the test.</p><p><br /></p><p>This article here seems to explain it better than most I have come across. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/definitions/folk-art.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/definitions/folk-art.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/definitions/folk-art.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
